Uppermill Football Club have added yet another local business as one of their growing list of sponsors.  

Long established and much-loved local restaurant, The Shalimar, has become the latest local business to create a business link with thr forward-thinking local club.  

The Shalimar will become match day rain jacket sponsors for the club’s under-13s squad - essential equipment as the weather draws in for winter.

Uppermill FC Chief Executive Steve Southern first proposed the idea to The Shalimar, and it was Chris Russell’s under-13s squad that were first to put their hands up to accept the kind sponsorship that the Restaurant put forward.

Mr Hannan said: “We have seen the work that the football club are doing in our community and we wanted to do our part to help support the club and the many youngsters who benefit from playing organised sport.

"We are delighted to have a formal relationship with the club and we look forward to seeing the young footballers in their new Shalimar-sponsored rain jackets”.

Under-13s coach Chris said: “The players and my coaches are very grateful for this kind sponsorship.  

"The jackets will certainly come in useful when the Saddleworth rain comes along!”

The Shalimar has been a feature of the Uppermill High Street since 1997 and specialises in a wide range of Indian cuisine.
