A SPORTS team in Dursley say they are grateful for the support from businesses as they look to continue their strong start to the season.

Dursley under 18s have got off to a great start in the Cheltenham Floodlit League, winning three from four matches in the league.

Their sole league defeat came in a narrow loss away at Bishops Cleeve meanwhile they also won their first county cup tie too.

A spokesperson for the team has now thanked local businesses who have helped the side with different areas of support.

They said: “We have had new tracksuits sponsored by the Dil Raj.

“The Dil Raj has been running in Dursley for around 35 years and Rakib is a well known member of the community as well as regular sponsor of Dursley Town AFC over the years.

“This year he could see the talent emerging with our young players and committed a generous sponsorship to ensure the U18 boys turn up to games looking smart and feeling the part.

“Immersa are our very generous team sponsor and Dursley Kebab House sponsor each home match, providing food for the players and officials.

“We are super grateful to them all and would not be able to run the team and keep feeding the adults team without the support we receive locally.”
