News / New strips for Thistle
LOCAL football team Lerwick Thistle has received new strips for all of its age groups thanks to sponsor Jewson.
The club has more than 100 young players on its books – including kids as young as five – and 30 adult players up to the age of 45.
Club president Michael Duncan said: “We are extremely grateful to Steven Laidlaw, Robert Stout from Jewson’s here in Lerwick, and the Marketing Team at Jewson’s Head Office, for their continued support – it is very welcome indeed and we are delighted with the new strip.
“As ever, we appreciate the efforts of all our volunteer coaches and parents and the players themselves for their contribution to the club.”
