Early doors: Partridge Green footballers celebrate new deal

With their upgraded pitches at Jolesfield Common, courtesy of the Sayers Common Community Grant, PGYFC is creating a bright future for local football talent, as they begin getting teams trained and match-ready for the 2023-24 season.

“Children in Partridge Green struggled to find nearby teams to join, often being waitlisted for out-of-town clubs,” explained under-13s PGYFC Manager Chris Holland.

“Thanks to the generosity and support we’ve received, particularly from our sponsor Forza Doors, Partridge Green now has a dedicated club for children, both local and out-of-town, to train and play football matches.

" We have pitches for five, seven, nine and 11-a-side matches and, due to the support and generosity we’ve received, we’ve expanded our teams to field under-sevens, 11s and 13s.”

Will Hunnam, Managing Director of Forza Doors, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership.

He stated: "We are thrilled to support Partridge Green Youth Football Club in providing local children with a dedicated space to enjoy football.

"This sponsorship reflects our commitment to community development."

Spectators are welcome to cheer on the teams and enjoy walks with their dogs along the footpaths surrounding the grounds.

PGYFC will participate in the Horsham District Youth Football League, engaging with teams within a 35-mile radius of Horsham, and arranging friendlies and cup games with more distant teams.
