A HOUSE-BUILDING company is continuing its support of a Flintshire football club, with another year of sponsorship.

Castell Alun Colts, in Hope, has scored support for a fourth year from Anwyl Homes, which has a regional office in Ewloe.

The latest donation of £500 will be used to make improvements to the club's home ground.

Gareth Crewe, general manager of Castell Alun Colts, said: "The links between Anwyl and the club date back to when they acquired land in Llay for the Maes-y-Rhedyn development.

"It costs around £6,000 a year to run the club and so we're grateful to Anwyl for the continued support.

"The first team wears an Anwyl sponsored kit and with the latest round of funding, we're hoping to repair or replace the fencing around the pitch."

Castell Alun Colts has two senior teams that play in the North East Wales Football League.

For about 50 years the club has been based at Castell Alun School, which also includes Hope Sports Centre, where the teams play and train.

Graeme Gibb, sales director for Anwyl Homes Cheshire and North Wales, said: "Castell Alun Colts, like so many other sports clubs, are a real asset to the local community, providing opportunities for people to stay fit and socialise.

"As keen advocates of grassroots sport, we're happy to continue supporting the club so that local people can enjoy sport."
