A RHYL football team are playing the season in style thanks to a donation from a homebuilder.
Anwyl Homes has sponsored the new kits for Rhyl Football Club’s recently formed under 11s team.
The squad, which currently has 12 players and trains at Coronation Gardens and Rhyl Leisure Centre, was set up last year to introduce a grassroots team to the club.
Paul Jenkins, team coach, said: “The generous sponsorship from Anwyl has gone towards a new kit for the children, some of whom have never previously played football matches. Having a high quality kit is one of the ways we can help build the team spirit and self-confidence for the players.
“We train at Coronation Gardens during the summer and Rhyl Leisure Centre during the winter. As a team we’ve really started from scratch, but week by week you can see the confidence growing in the lads and their ability now they are playing together regularly.
"We are looking to welcome new players too as we grow the team.”

Graeme Gibb, sales director for Anwyl Homes Cheshire and North Wales, said: “Grassroots sport plays such an important part in building communities are we’re really proud to be sponsoring a new team at Rhyl FC. We hope the team will enjoy playing in their new kits and we wish them all the best for the rest of the season.”
Anwyl Homes is building nearby at its Parc Aberkinsey development, off Dyserth Road, which has three homes remaining for sale.
