GREEDY GORDONS CONTINUES TO SPONSOR BRONTE

The Greedy Gordons Group is delighted to be continuing the sponsorship of
local footballer Bronte Cooper, whose talent has been recognised again.
Fifteen-year-old Bronte has been reselected for the FA’s Emerging Talent Centre
at Peterborough United Football Club, where she will train and play with the
under 16s Girls Academy this forthcoming season.
Bronte has also been asked to train with Peterborough United’s Under 23s squad
who will play in the FA Women’s National League Reserve Midlands Division,
against opposition including Wolverhampton Wanderers Reserves, Derby
County Reserves and Notts County Reserves.
With the under 16s and under 23s, Bronte, who has been playing football for
five years, will be getting 4 hours a week of professional FA coaching in a £1.7
million indoor training dome which opened last year at the Idverde training
centre in Oundle Road, Peterborough.
She also has weekly access to the gym, where Peterborough United Men and
Women train, and has nutritional advice and psychological support where
needed.


Peterborough Under 16s and under 23s feed directly into Peterborough
Women’s first team and there are England camps for those identified as the most
promising.
As well as playing for Peterborough, Bronte plays up a year for Thrapston
Under 17 Girls and she is also the only girl in a mixed team Weekley Rovers
Rockets under 16s.
Greedy Gordons Group owner Richard Gordon said: “We sponsored Bronte last
season and are delighted to be sponsoring her again this year. Bronte has real
potential, with strength, speed and great spatial awareness – who knows, she
could be a future Lionness!”
Peterborough United Football Club Women’s General Manager, Bobby
Copping, said: “We would like to thank Greedy Gordons for their individual
player sponsorship for Bronte which will help improve the programme and
facilities for all the girls at Peterborough Academy. Our aim is to produce as
much homegrown talent as possible and ultimately to give local girls a chance
of getting a contract and having a career as a professional footballer.”

The Greedy Gordons Group includes The Red Lion in Cranford, The Pig &
Waffle in Grafton Underwood, The Snooty Fox in Lowick and GG Express
Farmshop and Buttery Café in Woodford.
