Bowker MINI is sponsoring Penwortham Town Football Club’s Under 8 Blue team. The support from Bowker MINI’s Preston dealership has enabled the team to receive waterproof jackets for the current season.

The Under 8 Blue team is part of Penwortham Town Football Club, which is located just outside Preston. Founded in 1977, Penwortham Town was one of the original members of both the Central Lancs Junior and Mid Lancs Colts Football Leagues. The club runs multiple youth teams across different age categories, including the Under 8s, and is committed to promoting grassroots football in the local area.

Jonathan Rogan, director at Bowker MINI in Preston, said: “We’re proud to back a team that brings so much joy and energy to the community. Seeing the players run out in their new kits puts a huge smile on everyone’s face – it’s exactly the kind of community activity Bowker MINI loves to support.”

The club is based in Penwortham and continues to focus on developing local football talent while offering opportunities for young players to engage in sport from an early age. Through its teams and community programmes, the club has built a strong local following and continues to expand its youth provision.

The partnership with Bowker MINI forms part of wider efforts by the club to secure local support and funding for grassroots football. Local business sponsorships help cover essential costs such as equipment, kits, and training facilities.

Anthony Brown, manager of the Under 8 Blue team, said: “The kids were buzzing when they got the new waterproof jackets – it’s made them feel like a proper team. We’re really grateful to Bowker MINI for backing us and giving the team that extra bit of pride when they step out onto the pitch.”

Penwortham Town continues to welcome support from local businesses and individuals to help sustain and grow its community football programmes.
