VETERANS’ football team Royal Oak Vets FC have received an extra boost ahead of the new football season, after obtaining sponsorship from Barratt Homes.

The team – who are all ex-armed forces personnel – play at Mill Chase Road recreation ground, close to Barratt’s latest development, New Quarter in Bordon.

“We’re creating a brand new selection of two, three and four bedroom homes in this popular semi-rural local location, on the site of the former Louisburg Barracks – and the first houses will soon be complete here,” said sales director, Michelle Storer.

“As part of the local community, we’re keen to support local clubs wherever possible, and we feel it very apt to provide Royal Oak Vets FC with sponsorship.

“On behalf of Barratt, I’d like to wish the team every success for the coming season.”

New Quarter is part of the ‘green town’ redevelopment.
