Two Ex-England sports stars have teamed up with a national heating and hot water manufacturer to search for local deserving youth sports teams to receive a £1,000 donation towards their club.

Ex-England footballer and ‘I’m a Celebrity’ contestant, Wayne Bridge, and ex- England rugby star and ‘Dancing on Ice’ winner, Kyran Bracken have teamed up with Worcester, Bosch Group as part of its commitment to heating up the nation’s parents and grandparents as they endure the great British weather to watch their children play sport each week.

To kick off the search, the two celebrities returned to their grass roots to surprise players and spectators on the sidelines. As well as joining the young aspiring players on the pitch for a pep talk and coaching session, the sporting legends had an extra treat for parents, as they helped keep them warm on the sidelines with hot drinks, bacon sandwiches and blankets during the game.

The Which? Best Buy heating supplier is now calling for locals in Newton Aycliffe to nominate a deserving youth team for the  chance to receive a special visit and £1,000 donation. Sue Pennington, consumer brand manager at Worcester, Bosch Group, said: “Youth sport is such an important part of local communities, so this year we wanted to give something back – not just to the players, but to the parents and coaches who give up their time and energy every week to celebrate their children’s love of sport.

“It would be great to visit a grass roots team in Newton Aycliffe, so we can show local parents and spectators that they can rely on Worcester to keep them warm.” To nominate a worthy club, locals should visit
