The Co-operative Insurance and Football Trade
Directory worked together to include the competition to win the training
gear in the footballtradedirectory.com e-newsletter, which goes out to
over 20,000 clubs in the UK.

From hundreds of entrants London APSA were the lucky
winners and received a Co-operative Insurance  Big Blue Bag of football
equipment. The fantastic prize includes two multi-surface portable
goals, corner posts and flags, Co-operative Insurance Cup training bibs
and two footballs. It all comes in two Co-operative Insurance compact
bags that fit easily across the backseat of a car and can be comfortably
carried.

Football Trade Directory managing director George
Moss and Rebecca Wearing, assistant manager at The Co-operative Bank
branch at Walthamstow, made the presentation to officials from London
APSA.

London APSA vice chairman Anjum Khan commented: “We
are delighted to receive this great equipment.  It is great news The
Co-operative Insurance and its sister company The Co-operative  Bank are
supporting grass roots and more should follow suit.”

Rebecca Wearing from The Co-operative Bank said: “The
Co-operative Bank is proud to support grass roots football with teams
that work across the community.

Football Trade Directory managing director George

much needed equipment across all sectors of grass roots football has
never been as important as we look to rebuild the game after the
disappointment of the national team in South Africa.  As a business we
applaud their efforts. London APSA are worthy winners.
