Rossendale junior football gets first ever team kit from Costa
After hearing that Rossendale Valley Junior football club had never had their own kit, and instead had been relying on hand-me-downs, the two Costa stores stepped in to provide the new club kit.
Costa stores in Rossendale and nearby Rawtenstall have also provided the team with a meeting point pre and post match, and regularly give out complimentary ‘Babyccinos’ to the team’s players. After a game, the ‘man of the match’ can also come into either store and claim a free cake and drink.
“When we heard that Rossendale Juniors had never had their own kit, we knew that we wanted to do something to help. We’re hoping that the new kit will lead the under 12s to victory in this year’s league!” said Chris Napier, Retail Development Manager at Costa Coffee.
