TWO women's football players are continuing to inspire the younger generation thanks to the sponsorship of an Amesbury business.

During work hours, Babs Brown delivers life saving medication, but outside of work, she is a keen football player in Salisbury City Women’s FC, along with her girlfriend, Danii Pomroy.

The couple, who met through football, are sponsored by beauty salon Amesbury House of Perfection, who provide funding that goes towards kit and fixtures.

Babs already knew the Amesbury House of Perfection’s director Jenny Robson and she had been at the salon one day when the idea of sponsorship came about.

She said: “I was in there having a facial done one day and she said about how she sponsors some of the rugby girls in Amesbury."

Babs suggested the idea of the salon sponsoring football players.

"She said, ‘I’m well up for that’", Babs recalled, "not the whole team of course but some individual players.

“It’s a lot of money, so it just takes that little bit of worry off that if I don’t pay I don’t play. I’m eternally grateful for the girls.”

Both Jenny and colleague Bex Carter from the salon sponsor the couple and offer them treatments to pamper them in between games, because "even football players still need some pampering", Babs said.

Salisbury Women’s FC has been running since August 2023 and has so far been a huge success in inspiring younger players.

Babs said: “When you go to watch the men play, you’re spending most of the time watching them fall around on the floor, even just when you watch on tv. When you go and watch the girls, it’s football. If you fall over, you get up, brush yourself off and get on.

“When we first played, it was so exciting, in our own hometown and before kick-off, we had a little girl and she wanted us to sign her shirt.

“This is what we do it for, to inspire the younger generation to be getting out and how getting outside and kicking a football can lead to some amazing things."
