STENHOUSEMUIR FC BECOMES KITAID'S FIRST SCOTTISH AMBASSADOR CLUB

Terry Bulloch, Director of Stenhousemuir FC said:

“We're very pleased to have been invited to launch the Ambassador Club scheme in Scotland and as a community based club it fits in really well with the way we work. We have supported KitAid for some time now and love to see the pictures of our old kit being used in Africa. We know that our supporters are behind the project as well, as they have donated a lot of shirts at the collection days we have held. I am sure the idea will catch on with a lot of different clubs all across the country.”

As you can see the kits from Guildford Town Youth, Hemel Town Youth and lots of individual kits were well received.
