Army backing football team

KEEN Coppice footballers will be sponsored by the Army after a presentation of a new kit today.

Coppice United under and over 18s teams were presented with their new strip at the Merton Avenue playing fields, by Colour Sgt Andy Crawley from Oldham Army Careers Office.

Coppice United are a highly successful club competing in tournaments throughout the UK, and players will sport the Army name on their shirts for the coming season.
