The Doncaster Schools U14 football team have received a significant boost to their season thanks to a new partnership with William Cook Rail and CWE.
As part of the sponsorship, William Cook Rail and CWE have their branding proudly on the team kits, ensuring the players have the resources they need to reach their full potential.
The squad is composed of young players selected from various schools across the Doncaster and district area, aimed at identifying the most skilled and promising footballers within the U14 age group.
The team competes in several prestigious competitions, including the English Schools Federation League, the English Schools National Cup, and the English Schools Yorkshire Cup. These tournaments provide the players with opportunities to demonstrate their abilities on both regional and national stages, fostering development, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
“We are thrilled to support the Doncaster Schools Football Team,” said Managing Director at CWE, Dave Bates. “As a company that values community engagement, we believe in the power of sport to inspire teamwork, discipline, and resilience. This partnership is about more than just providing football kits; it’s about empowering these young athletes to pursue their passions and develop life skills that will serve them well in the future.”
