SWINDON'S Under 16s are gearing up for the coming season if they can find a team sponsor that is.

As under 15s, the fast improving squad finished runners-up and took the fair play trophy at the Newbury 10s tournament last season, and are now keen to secure some new kit for their next campaign.

The team are also hoping to undertake a tour of Scotland next year, and to that end the coaches and parents are organising a fund-raising event on October 4.

That evening will comprise an auction, raffle, barbecue and disco at Swindon's Greenbridge Road clubhouse.

The squad are also seeking donations for that evening and any businesses or individuals interested in helping out, or offering a match strip should contact Sheila Goacher on 07763 388876 or 01793 882106.

The under 16 squad would welcome any new players at Greenbridge Road on Sundays.
