Peoples Bank of Ironton recently donated $500 to the new Ironton Soccer Club to provide jerseys for the inaugural Ironton Middle School Soccer Club team.

“This really helped to ease the financial burden of getting started.” said Heather Lambert, president of Ironton Soccer Club. “We had such a great turnout for our first soccer team and, with this donation, we were able to buy 25 jerseys and two goalie shirts for our players.”

Lambert said they wanted to keep their registration fee low.

“And with the generous support of local businesses like Peoples Bank, and also very generous parents, we were able to get started and have a successful inaugural season,” she said. “We thank Peoples Bank for their donation.”
