Young footballers in Cleveland are smartening up their game - thanks to a new set of training bibs from Transco.

The gas pipeline company donated the new blue bibs to the Under-15s squad of New Marske Football Club.

Club coach Tony Hide said the club had a long history of support from Transco which has also helped fund new footballs, transport costs and given raffle prizes.

"We're quite a popular club for youngsters in New Marske and we are now in the second division in the Teesside League," said Tony, who also works as an engineer for Transco.

"Transco's help has been invaluable over the last couple of years, helping us raise the money we need to get to tournaments and buy new equipment and strips."

New Marske Football Club has players of all ages and is based at New Marske Sports and Social Club.

Transco Network Manager Peter Race said: "Transco is very keen to support the communities where it works and was only too pleased to help. The lads look great in their new bibs."
