Rotary club sponsor Langley team

Date published: 29/09/2008

As part of their continued community service the Rotary Club of Middleton have sponsored a new strip for a Langley based football team, Our Lady's A.F.C.

The team has just started its second season in the Middleton Sunday League after gaining promotion in their first season.

Managed by Peter Booth, brother of Tommy, who enjoyed a 14 year career at Manchester City between 1968 and 1982, the club like to keep things in the family as Helen Lewis, their sister, is the secretary.

The Rotary Club had hoped to present the strip before the start of the season but printing problems meant it could only be handed over prior to their second match. The strip received a good christening as Our Lady's won the game 4 - 1 and they look set to build on last year's success after winning both of their games so far.

Rotary Club chairman Norman Wellens said: "With the Middleton Rotary Club's name prominently printed on their chest it is hoped that the team's continued success will help to promote Rotary in the local community."
