THE players of Evesham United Juniors Under-9ss will be kicking-off the rest of their football career in style thanks to a Big Blue Bag full of football equipment, donated by the Co-operative Insurance Society.

Manchester-based CIS, is running a Big Blue Bag scheme that offers each of its 4.5 million customers and 12,000 staff, the chance to nominate a junior team to receive one of the bags.

CIS Agent Michael Bell, who nominated the Evesham team, said: "I am absolutely delighted that CIS has donated one of their Big Blue Bags to the team as previously they had no equipment to practice with."

Each Big Blue Bag contains everything the boys will need to hone their skills - two portable goals, corner flags, pitch markers and bibs.
