Musselburgh Windsor Amateur Football Club has started 2012 with a new look thanks to an Edinburgh property company.
Ross and Liddell set up its Community Bursary Scheme last year and donated £250 to the club, which used the funding to purchase a new change strip for its amateur squad.
Mark Finlayson, team manager, said: “On behalf of Musselburgh Windsor Amateur Football Club I would like to thank Ross and Liddell for its funding and support.
“The bursary has allowed us to fund a new change strip, which is essential when there are so many teams and competitions at amateur level.
“Musselburgh Windsor Football Club has been around for a long time with a range of teams of all ages, but this team was only established in 2011 and this is their first competitive season.
“It was a natural progression for a boys club as large as Windsor to develop a senior team for boys to progress towards as they work through the age groups. We hope to be successful within the Lothian and Edinburgh Amateur Football Association and compete with the existing amateur teams in Musselburgh and the surrounding areas.”
Based in Clifton Terrace, Edinburgh, Ross and Liddell specialises in property management and maintenance, as well as providing a comprehensive range of residential and commercial services, including sales, lettings, surveying and insurance.
Property manager, Wayne O’Connor, recently visited the club to meet the team and check out their new strips.
He said: “Our aim when we set up the bursary scheme was to give non-profit groups in the area the opportunity to apply for financial support to help continue their valuable work in the community.
“Musselburgh Windsor Football Club is very much part of the local community and we are delighted that the club has been able to purchase a new away kit with the money awarded through our bursary scheme. We wish them every success throughout the season.”
