Blantyre Vics youth squad kitted out thanks to two Lanarkshire firms

Blantyre Vics 2007's youth football club have unveiled their new strips courtesy of two Lanarkshire firms.

The lads, who secured a spot in the third round of the Scottish Youth Cup on Saturday with an 11-1 win, have been kitted out in new home strips thanks to CCL Electricals, based in Newton, Cambuslang, and Alarmco, of Hamilton.

Both established Lanarkshire businesses were keen to sponsor the Vics new kits and indeed show their support for the team for the season ahead.

The Vics squad have proved extremely successful over the years winning the Ross Sloan Memorial Tournament, the Riverside Festival in Dumbarton and their fantastic achievement in Amsterdam when they won the SV Vogelenzang tournament.

The boys were also league cup finalists back in 2020, however the global pandemic saw the match and indeed entire season cancelled.

Ted Crawford, owner of CCL Electricals, said: "We are delighted to be asked to sponsor the Blantyre Vics 2007 blue team.

"We want to wish all the boys and the coaches good luck for a successful season."

Head coach of Blantyre Vics 2007s, David Anderson said: "A massive thank you to CCL Elecrical Limited and everyone at Alarmco for the sponsorship of our home and away strips for the new campaign.

"The lads have had a strong start to the season, in what was a very difficult 18 months with not a lot of game time at all due to lockdown, and we look forward to the months ahead."
