MANCHESTER, NH – On Dec. 8 the Manchester East Cobras U10 Football Team will hit the gridiron in Kissimmee, Florida, and they’re seeking help for travel reimbursement.

As of Thursday, the team has raised just under half of its requested $10,000 to help get their players, coaches and parents to Florida for the American Youth Football Division 2 10U All-American Division Championship Game.

They face the Texas-based Garden Villa Sharks at 11 a.m. after defeating teams from Maryland and Florida at the tournament earlier in the week.

The Cobras earned their spot after a 37-7 victory over the Hartford Wildcats last month to earn the AYF New England Region Football Championship.

More information on how to donate is available at the team’s GoFundMe page.
