This is the third year that merseyflow has ran its Team Spirit competition, which aims to support local clubs that help young people in the region access sports to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

Neil Conway, Chief Executive of merseyflow, said: “Supporting the local community here in Halton is really important to us at merseyflow. We know that junior sports teams are self-funded and rely on donations to cover day-to-day running costs and equipment so we’re keen to show our support and recognise the fantastic work they do to provide kids with an outlet to have fun and stay healthy.

“We were able to showcase over 40 local teams on our Facebook page this year, and I’d like to say congratulations to all of our winners for 2023.”
