DIG IT proudly sponsors Lingdale Utd Football Team 2010/11.

Promoting Healthy Eating and Lifestyles has always been top of "DIG IT´s" agenda, so when my local football team approached me to sponsor them, I thought what better way to prove our commitment and also give something back to the community. 

I used to play for the team when it started in 1992 and realise the hard work needed to run and keep it going year after year.  Like most things funding plays a big part in this, but without the commitment of three people the team would not be running today.  James Hodgson / Maurice Wright and Shaun Ferguson play an important role as the team managing and coaching staff, but without their dedication the team would not be present in the league and the local lads of the community would be without a football team. 

LINGDALE UTD FOOTBALL CLUB - was founded in 1992 by James Hodgson and friends.  They joined the Eskvale league and finished 6th in their first season.  Staying in this league for 4 more seasons, beaten in 2 finals and 2 semi-finals.  They went into the stokesley league without success.

The eskvale League joined up with the Cleveland league and Lingdale UTD won their first trophy , winning the "Eileen Hodgson Bowl in 2005/06 season.  They were also beaten in another final - The Northern Echo cup, that year.

This season 2010/11, we have a great young side, average age 19, with a good sponsor and a good team we feel we could have more chance of success than previous years with the hopes of reaching at least one or two finals.

Team Manager - James Hodgson.

Assistant managers - Shaun Ferguson / Maurice Wright.

Team captain - Danny Leng.

Longest serving player - Steven hurst (92).
