NEW BALLS PLEASE

Would you like the chance for your team to be ball boys or girls for the Whites?

In our last outing against Hampton & Richmond Borough we had the boys from Thamesview U10’s as our matchday ball boys. Unfortunately the Whites went down to a 3-0 defeat but the youngsters had a great time despite the result. It was an experience that they really enjoyed which included a team photo on the pitch, inside the dressing room and were even able to meet some of the players.

This isn’t new territory for the club and we would like to extend the opportunity to any clubs/organisations that wish to come and participate in being our match day ball boys or girls. We have three matches left at Crabble this season but are happy to add you to a waiting list for next if you prefer.

For anyone interested in getting involved, please dont hesitate to contact either myself or the club direct to register your interest.

[email protected] or call the club office on 01304 822373. Alternatively you can use [email protected]

We look forward to seeing you. COYW!
