A junior football team in Tranent will kick off the summer season in style after striking a sponsorship deal with Jewel & Esk College.
The Tranent Colts Football Club received a £600 boost from the college to buy brand new hooded jackets, football tops, football banners and additional kit for the club’s under 9s team.
Andy Gillies, Team Coach and former student at Jewel & Esk College, said: “Tranent Colts would like to thank Jewel & Esk for their generosity and support in sponsoring the team. The financial input from the college has enabled the team to supply the kids with full training kit and kit bags. It has doubled morale within the squad and the kids are wearing it with pride.”
Now fully kitted out, the under 9s team are planning a number of upcoming footie events. The young lads, who play in the East Lothian Soccer Sevens League, have plans to step up their sports efforts and training to face football teams from all over Europe in May next year.
Mandy Exley, Jewel & Esk College Principal and Chief Executive, said:- “We are proud to be supporting the Tranent Colts under 9s team and think the players look fantastic in their new kit. We wish them every success for the summer season ahead and their upcoming football trips!”
