A CHILDREN'S football team has been handed a sponsorship boost for the season ahead.
Croydon FC Under 8s, who play at Croydon Arena, are being sponsored by Selsdon Park Lodge 5005, from Croydon Masonic Halls.
The youngsters were able to wear the shirts, with the sponsor's logo, for the first time at their home game against Beckenham Reds earlier this month.
Andy Percival, team manager, said "We are a new team, this being our first season, and the boys are getting better week on week.
"The most important thing is that the boys are loving it. Any support we can get is very much appreciated."
Tony Pearson, from the Selsdon Park Lodge, said: "This is the start of what I hope will be a long association between Croydon FC youth and local Freemasons from Selsdon Park Lodge."
