ONE of the most iconic landmarks in a Powys town has partnered with a local junior girls football club
The Metropole Hotel is proudly sponsoring Llandrindod Wells Junior Girls Football Club.
The club has gone from strength since its founding by Julie Christopher in 2011 with a vision to provide young girls in the area with an opportunity to explore their love for the beautiful game.
It all began with her daughter, Katie, and two of her friends.
Little did they know that their modest beginnings would lead to the formation of a flourishing club that now boasts more than 100 enthusiastic and talented young girls.
