Larkfield U-15s have netted a second £250 sport award from UK Power Networks.
The club was nominated for the award for a second year running by Matthew Woods, whose daughter Natalie was among the founding members of the female section at Larkfield.
UK Power Networks has donated a total of £500 to the thriving girls’ club and they plan to use this to buy new training kit and balls for all the girls.
Matthew Wo0ods said: “This is our second team sport award from my employer and the club is very grateful. The club is self-sufficient so every little bit of money helps. I was happy because it enables me to give something back to a club which does so much for the girls.
“The club is run by volunteers who give up their weekends in a variety of roles as manager, coach, treasurer and maintaining the clubhouse. I watch the team play every weekend and help set up and take down the goals. The girls get so much enjoyment from the game. It gets them out, mixing with new friends from different schools, they get exercise and it gets them off their phones!”
Larkfield U-15s are currently in the semi-final of the Kent League Cup and fourth in Division 1 of the KGLF League. They train on Thursdays at Aylesford School sport centre during the winter and play home games at New Hythe Lane, Larkfield.
The Team Sport Award scheme encourages staff to volunteer in the community and is aimed at promoting healthy living, teamwork and development of sporting opportunities.
