Housebuilder’s donation helps local youth football team buy new kits

A children’s football club will be taking to the pitch in fresh new kits thanks to Dandara East Scotland.

Kirkliston & South Queensferry FC’s (KSQ) kid’s team, which is made up of forty four-year-olds, train and play near the housebuilder’s Foxhall Gait development.

The club, which started training in September, has received a £1,000 donation towards new tops featuring the club badge, as well as new footballs and pop-up goals.

Chris Brown, KSQ Treasurer, said, “The season kick-off is always an exciting one, especially when we get to meet all of the youngsters, like the 2019s team, who are just finding their feet on the pitch.

“It’s great to be able to work with a company like Dandara to ensure the teams have the most seamless start to their sporting journey. Usually, the youngest team wear second-hand returns from the older children, so it’s fantastic that this year’s new players will all have fresh kits for the upcoming season.”

Tony Williamson, sales director at Dandara Scotland East, added, “Getting children involved in team sport at a young age is terrific, not only for their physical health but also for them to develop skills such as teamwork and cooperation. Kirkliston & South Queensferry FC have done a fantastic job in setting up for the season, and I’m delighted Dandara has been able to help with this donation.”
