We’re pleased to be providing kit sponsorship for the under 7s Boothstown Tigers youth team!

Boothstown Football Club is a thriving and hugely successful football club located in Boothstown, Salford. It is an accredited FA Charter Standard Development Club and in 2008 was awarded the much coveted Development Award from Manchester FA. The club runs teams from under 6s to under 16s, who play in varying local leagues, and the club is currently in the process of developing a girl’s team in readiness for the 2009 to 2010 season.
