Scotsdales, the Local family-run Garden Centre with stores based in Great Shelford, Fordham and Horingsea, have signed an agreement to sponsor the Cambridge United Women U18s side for the 2024/25 season...
The agreement will see the Scotsdales logo on the Training Kit for the U18s Women's team, who are in their second year since formation and have already made great strides as a group.
In their first year, the team finished second in the league and reached the final of the Cambridgeshire County Cup, and this season, they are currently placed third, having won four of their first five games.
The pathway to the First Team is also evident - two U18 players were on the bench for the Women's First Team game against AFC Bournemouth on Sunday.
Charlotte Crisp, Girls Programme Manager said, "The support of Scotdales sponsorship has already been invaluable this season, providing not just financial backing, but also a sense of community and encouragement towards the purpose and development in which our U18 Women's team is aiming to achieve. We are grateful to have a sponsor that believes and supports the groups potential and the growth of female pathway here at the Club."
