A DUNMOW football team has announced a new sponsor that should set them up superbly for next season, whether playing home or away.

Avanti Travel Insurance has splashed its name across the chest of players from the Dunmow Rhodes U12’s team after the side had a successful season in both league and cup competitions.

After playing well in the Chelmsford Youth League they have also qualified for a cup final in May and manager Alan Soutar could not be happier with the way things are going.

“We appreciate that the current business environment is challenging, therefore the money spent on the team is fully appreciated,” he said. “The strips look fantastic and we are very grateful to Avanti Travel Insurance for their generous sponsorship.”

Managing director of Avanti Glen Smith added: “We were pleased to be able to offer our support to the Dunmow Rhodes team as we are conscious of our role within the local area. Youth sport makes a positive contribution to the community so we were more than happy to help.”

Dunmow Rhodes Youth FC was founded in 1975 and caters for teams of boys and girls aged from seven years old through to seniors.
