A JUNIOR football team has a new kit thanks to a Premiership sponsorship deal.
Barclaycard, which sponsors the Premiership, has donated a set of kit to the newly reformed Darlington Primary Schools Association football team.
The club, made up of junior school pupils from the town, was re-formed last year after a 30-year break.
But its future was in doubt because of a lack of funding for kit until Barclaycard stepped in.
The sponsorship award is part of Barclaycard Free Kicks, the £4m grassroots football programme which is awarding 1,000 kits around the UK.
