Jersey’s under-15 footballers have reached the fourth round of the Inter Association Cup – following a 3-1 win against Poole and East Dorset at Springfield on Saturday – but with an away draw at Bridgewater now looming their coffers are running low so they are appealing for help.
Jersey manager Russell Le Feuvre, a senior Muratti player, said: ‘The costs for our first two games have come out of the Secondary Schools’ budget, we pay whether we play home or away and Saturday’s game cost us £1,000.
‘The money is coming out of the schools’ budget but I’m told it is getting very low now so I’m appealing for help from Islanders and companies.
‘Our next game will be played 40 miles south of Bristol; it’s looking likely that as well as the flights we will require coach travel and probably an overnight stay.
‘Anyone who would like to make a donation, or maybe sponsor a player, we’d love to hear from them.’
