We know our readers and local youth football teams have been working hard to collect as many tokens as possible to be in with the chance of winning a brand new team kit, there are now less than two weeks left to collect tokens – tokens will be printed in the paper every day until Saturday, May 31.
There are 10 full team kits to be won, plus secondary prizes including agility kits and footballs.
Winning teams will be those that have collected the most as a ratio of registered players at their club whilst any team who collects more than 500 tokens will be entered into a draw for the secondary prizes.
This competition has been open to Under-13 teams and below, one youth team within any given football club could take part for a chance to win one of the prizes.
Whether part of a large club with multiple teams or just a single team starting out!
