And thanks to the team at Specsavers Petersfield in The Square, the team will be warm and dry throughout the winter thanks to their new and shiny sponsored training jackets.
The jackets have recently been delivered to the team – part of Petersfield Town FC, which is based at The Southdowns Builders Stadium in Love Lane.
And they popped down to the store to show them off to retail director Jo Cox, ophthalmic director Shilpan Shah, and the rest of the Specsavers Petersfield team.
Jo says: ‘When we were approached to support the girls team, we didn’t hesitate to get involved.
‘Petersfield Town FC are a massive part of the local community here, and do so much to help local people of all ages stay healthy and stay connected.
‘We hope the jackets will help keep the team dry and warm throughout the winter – and we hope they help them perform to their absolute best.’
John Lowe, manager of the U18 girls and overall head of female football at Petersfield Town FC says: ‘We’re really grateful to Jo, Shilpan and the rest of the team for their support, and the team are looking forward to staying warm this winter in their new jackets. We now have over 160 female players at the club and it’s fantastic that Specsavers Petersfield have now added their support to the growth of girls football in the town.’
