Jon said: “Sanctuary in Chichester would like to thank Siddlesham FC for the kind donation of the kit, several local sponsors who have contributed financially towards the cost of boots, shin-pads and other equipment, Clancy’s Cavaliers for being such sporting opponents, and many local residents and SIC volunteers, who gave up their Sunday lie-in to support the team.
He added: “This is just the beginning for Nations United!”
