Colls' Learning Difficulties Team Boost
28th January, 2008
Pontefract Collieries have been surprised by the amount of interest for a football team dedicated to people with learning difficulties in the town.
The club put a tentative enquiry in to their local paper, Pontefract & Castleford Express, about plans to set up the side and have been overwhelmed by the response.
A spokesperson for the NCEL Division One outfit said: "Our launch date is Saturday 9th February at 11am and is initially aimed at 15-year-olds and upwards.
"Should this be successful, as we expect, then other teams will follow, especially for children as we have also experienced interest from youngsters desperate to play football.
"Everyone is welcome and please bring your boots for what we are hoping will be lots of fun.
"Anyone wishing to get involved and help will also be welcome and we can guide them in the direction of coaching courses etc. if they wish.
"Once coaching sessions get underway, we will soon be looking at arranging competitive matches with other teams in surrounding areas as we are already experiencing interest from outside Pontefract for matches."
