Get ready to vote for your favourite local grassroots sports club in Leigh, to help them win £1,000 worth of kit and an incredible sporting experience, thanks to Manchester United Women and Leigh Sports Hub.
To celebrate the men’s football World Cup this summer, LSV, Manchester United and the Leigh Journal have teamed up to celebrate local grassroots sports in our area.
The winning team will have the opportunity to have x10 tickets to watch the Women’s team play on home turf at Leigh Sports Village Stadium. No matter what sport they play the team will also receive a free pitch hire session at Leigh Sports Hub, the region’s premier multi surface sports pitch facility.
James Winterbottom director of strategy and innovation at Wigan Council, said: “Leigh Sport Village’s mission is to ensure that well-being, sporting, cultural and educational opportunities are available to everyone.”
“We are really pleased to be working with Manchester United to make this happen, alongside an incredible kit giveaway.”
Leigh Journal readers can vote for their favourite club by collecting tokens printed in the paper and dropping the tokens off at branded collection points around Leigh. There’s no need for clubs to register their interest.
James, added: “There is already so much buzz about the World Cup and we hope this competition will shine a light on the great work these clubs are doing day in and day out inspiring Leigh’s young people and bringing the community together.
“Here at the LSV, we aim to be the number one venue for health, education, sports and events and are excited to be able to offer this opportunity to the grassroots teams on our doorstep.”
