A SALE football team are celebrating after completing a league and cup double.

Sale United Eagles play in the Timperley and District League Under-14s Division Four and followed it up with success in the cup recently.

All their success has been attributed to last May’s trip to Utrecht in Holland where the squad experienced playing against four Dutch grassroots sides.

Assistant Manager Rob Gordon said: “ The trip brought the lads together as a team and in my opinion has been the catalyst for the success we have enjoyed all season.”

The squad have won every game in the league so far, winning the league comfortably.

Now the boys are looking forward to the must stronger challenge of next season when they will be promoted to a higher Division.

Sale United are currently looking for sponsors to assist their 2016 Under 13s trip to Holland which is already in the planning stage.

If there are any local businesses who want to put their names to the kit, the tracksuits or kit bags the club they should contact the Sale United office on 0161 905 3088.

The trip has run since 2001 and to date 238 Sale United players have enjoyed the experience of playing against Dutch sides.
