46 CHAMBERLINK November 2016 On the ball: Solihull Moors FC under-13s girls team
Clarke Willmott joins the Solihull Moors team
Lawyers at Birmingham law firm Clarke Willmott LLP are celebrating a new sponsorship partnership with the Solihull Moors FC under-13s girls’ team, in a deal which came during Women’s Sport Week. The law firm is sponsoring the
up-and-coming team this season as they compete in the Central Warwickshire Girls Football League. Partner Rayner Grice said supporting the junior girls’ team was important to her colleagues
who feel passionately about encouraging young people into sports and supporting non- traditional women and girls teams. Rayner said: “We are delighted
to be supporting the Solihull Moors FC under-13s girls team this season. The women’s game has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years. Football is not traditionally viewed as a women’s sport. However the rise of the women’s national team has inspired more young girls to become involved in the sport.”
