'We're delighted to be supporting an amateur football club that's ethos is around inclusivity, development and enjoyment. 

"[It is] a club that aims to keep sub costs at a minimum to allow as many local families and children as possible to reap the benefits of team sport, is one that we are proud to be associated with.

'We'd like to wish them all the best for the new season, we know they certainly look the part!'
