Team hopes to score with funding

WITH organisers Michael Jones (front left) and Irving Lewis are back (from the left) team members Mark McBride, Phillip Kelly, Jonathan Mossop and Phillip Valentine. Front row (from the left) are Scott Robson, Peter Eccles and Michael Clayton.

A FOOTBALL team for able-bodied people with learning difficulties is aiming to recruit more members and to attract more funding.

Oldham Craft Football Club meets every Thursday afternoon at Oldham Sports Centre between 1pm and 2pm.

But team leader Michael Jones, who is partially sighted and suffers from epilepsy, says more team members would enable them to play in a league.

And funding would help to pay running costs and to keep the team on a better footing. Anyone wanting to join or give backing to the team is asked to phone Michael on 0161-626 9367.
