SWINDON Supermarine U10s acted as mascots for the club’s pre-season friendly with Swindon Town.

The youngsters walked out with the players at the Webbswood Stadium on Saturday before going on to play in their fifth tournament of the summer.

The U10s, over the last eight weeks, have won four out of the five events they have played in and finished runners up in the other one.

Meanwhile, Supermarine’s men’s and ladies’ teams will both be sponsoredby Wiltshire financial advice firm Unividual.

Supermarine chairman Jez Webb said: “All at Supermarine are delighted and are very appreciative for the support shown to us from Unividual.

“To have a company of Unividual’s stature pledging this kind of support in the Supermarine brand is a fantastic tonic for all at the club and will enable us to continue our work to serve a wide cross section of groups in the local community.’’

Marine ladies’ secretary Sadie Harrison added: “The Lionesses journey at the 2015 World Cup enthralled the nation and raised the exposure of women’s football in England.

“We’re hoping the upcoming Euro’s will have the same positive effect and will result in more women and girls getting into football, regardless o their experience or ability.

“We’re busy with pre-season plans ahead of our second season in the Wiltshire Women’s and Girls league. The season kicks off on September 3 and we’re keen to recruit new players.

“We are excited for the season ahead after the news of our new partners, Unividual, joining us on our journey."
