Restaurant begins search for Formby’s most needy sporting talent

FORMBY restaurant The Gallery Bar and Grill has begun its own X-factor style search for the area’s most needy sporting talent as part of a new sponsorship competition.

The restaurant, based in Halsall Lane, is looking to provide kit sponsorship for a worthy local sports team, or teams, across football, rugby and cricket.

Now the restaurant has launched its Formby Sports Idols competition to find the teams it believes are most deserving of new kit.

The Gallery is inviting sports groups from Formby and the surrounding area to write in and explain in fewer than 100 words why they need and deserve the sponsorship.

The Gallery’s manager Steven Rice, said: “We’re always very keen to support local grass roots and amateur sport and have been looking to sponsor a local team for some time now. The only problem is there are so many great teams in and around Formby that it’s hard to know who needs sponsorship the most.

“Our Formby Sports Idol competition will allow teams in the area to tell us how much they need new strips and why they deserve the sponsorship.”

Teams interested in applying for the sponsorship can write to Steve Rice, The Gallery Bar and Grill, 2 Halsall Lane, Formby, L37 3PX.
