Littleover Dazzlers watch England U21 starlets

A community football team were treated to a very special visit to the iPro stadium this week to cheer on England’s Under 21s, thanks to Vauxhall retailer Pentagon Derby.

On Wednesday 5th March, boys from Littleover Dazzlers Under 15s were invited to go and cheer on England as they took on Wales in the crucial Euro 2015 qualifying match.

With the England team winning by a narrow 1-0 it was a close match and one not to be missed between two near neighbours.

The trip was organised as a treat by the retailer on Nottingham Road who are the proud sponsors of the Littleover Dazzlers this season and  provided the team with their kit.
