Five junior sports teams in Halton are celebrating after winning merseyflow’s annual Team Spirit competition.

23 October 2025

The competition, open to local teams up to the under-14 age group, offered the chance to win one of five junior sports teams’ kits up to the value of £1,000 each.

After a fantastic response of inspiring entries, including hockey, football, netball, morris dancing, boxing teams, etc., a panel of merseyflow judges whittled it down to choose the five lucky teams that best demonstrated outstanding teamwork.

These teams are:

  • ABC Amateur Boxing Club (Little Hitters)
  • The Next Step Dance Academy
  • Runcorn Linnets Green/Orange U11s FC
  • Nellies Vikingettes Netball Team
  • Pexhill FC Jaguars U14s

This is the fifth year that merseyflow has run 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.

Helen Williams, Marketing Manager at merseyflow, said: “We are proud to keep supporting young people in Halton through our Team Spirit competition. Each year, we are inspired by the enthusiasm, teamwork, and dedication shown by local junior sports clubs, and this year’s entries were outstanding.

“We know junior sports teams often rely on donations for expenses and equipment. We're proud to support and celebrate their efforts to help kids stay active and inspired.”
