DARTFORD Ladies FC's junior and senior sides have been awarded a new set of coaching equipment and kit from Barclays.

The donation is one of 1,200 packs being awarded each year to ensure teams across the UK will benefit from the three-year scheme.

Over the last twelve months, Dartford Ladies has progressed from a senior team to a charter standard adult status club, with a senior team, two junior teams and a thriving football development programme.

Chairman Brian Page said: "We would all like to thank Barclays for their support.

"This news coincides with the launching and registration of our new under-10 girls' squad, a team solely produced from our community project."

Michelle Smith, Barclays' sponsorship director, added: "Barclays is delighted to be supporting Dartford Ladies and hopes this coaching kit will continue to encourage their interest in sport and lead them to greater success."
