Kilgetty AFC Women's Team received the donation, including reusable drinks bottles, bibs, kit and football carrier bags, and Lucozade Sport drinks, thanks to Tenby Post Office Stores and Fiona Malone, who nominated the team for one of 10 kits donated across the UK by Lucozade.

"My son plays for the Kilgetty under 13s, and the whole club is really inclusive for everybody, so when Lucozade asked, we immediately thought of Kilgetty women's football team." The kit was presented to the team on Sunday, July 13 during their Chwarae FOR HER Wales v England Watch Party at Kilgetty AFC Football Club's Kingsmoor Sports Club. A team spokesperson said: "We are very grateful to receive all of the items from Tenby Post Office Stores and Lucozade.

"We needed these because we've been bringing our own bottles, as the only other option was to use the men's bottles. "The bibs are great and the kit and football carrier bags will be really useful, thank you." The female game continues to grow at Kilgetty AFC, with support and sponsorship playing a key role in sustaining and developing grassroots football. The club has also received ongoing kit sponsorship from Ty Francis of New York Welsh, funding from Tesco Stronger Starts, and FAW grants for equipment and coach education.

A spokesperson for the club said: "Along with the new Lucozade kit, these donations are a real game changer for the female game and it is things like this that encourage and enable players to grow in skill, confidence, gaining a sense of belonging as they play football together."
