A team of young Grangetown footballers are hoping for a good result in this year’s Wish campaign.
Grangetown YCC U7s are a newly formed team that came together earlier this year.
The team is mainly made up from children who live in the local area, many of who have progressed from the club’s academy.
Grangetown YCC was originally founded in 1941 and was formerly known as the Grangetown Boys Club. Being a family club, the junior section was formed in 2001. There are currently a total of six junior teams, as well as two senior teams, at the club.
The juniors, including the U7s, are coached by FA qualified coaches and compete in the Teesside Junior Football Alliance.
With the team entering The Gazette’s Wish campaign for the first time, Gavin McDaid, of the club, said: “We would like to invest in new kits, tracksuits and extra equipment like new footballs.”
Every year, The Gazette’s Wish campaign gives away thousands of pounds to not-for-profit groups and organisations benefiting the Teesside community. Each registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot.
Tokens are now appearing daily in The Gazette. The last token will appear on January 21. Submissions for tokens will close at 5pm on Monday, February 23.
To help Grangetown YCC U7s, send your tokens to: 136 Lime Road, Normanby, TS6 0BY.
