A JUNIOR football team has won the support of a popular family restaurant to help it look the best on the pitch.

Montpelier Villa youth team’s kit sponsor is Donatello, of Brighton Place. The team is now back at its old training ground at Falmer.

Club chairman Gary Pleece said: “It is thanks to fantastic sponsors like Donatello that the club can afford new kit and equipment and not only compete with the best but also look the best.”

The young players and parents had Christmas lunch on Sunday at the restaurant with two Albion players as their special guests.
