Meet West Didsbury & Chorlton’s Star ‘Sweeper’!

West Didsbury & Chorlton AFC have signed a new sweeper… of a different kind!

Mr Soot Chimney Sweep has pitched in with sponsorship for the next three years.

The HETAS-approved company, which has a base on Burton Road, M20, is undertaking a new initiative to recognise the valuable contribution grassroots sports and voluntary organisations make across the area.

As part of the sponsorship, a Mr Soot advertising board has taken pride of place in a key location at the Brookburn Road ground.

Formed in 1908, West Didsbury & Chorlton is a thriving club. The men’s first team are in the North West Counties Premier League. They have two women’s teams and a staggering 32 junior teams – made up of 24 boys’ teams and eight girls’ teams.
