Newmachar United FC gets kitted out thanks to north-east firm

A north-east firm has thrown its weight behind Newmachar United Football Club.

Greenwell Equipment has provided tracksuits for 27 boys aged six to eight that play for the team.

Managing director of the East Tullos based company, Mark Turnbull, is a fan of the club and his son, Cal, plays for United.

Mr Turnbull is thrilled to be able to support the club.

He said: “I am delighted to help out Newmachar United FC.

“It is a great, local club, which gives youngsters the chance to get some exercise, acquire new skills and learn how to work well in a team.”

Newmachar coach David Reid added: “We are really grateful for Mark and Greenwell for their support.

“We often attend football festivals and the other teams all look great in their kit, so we are thrilled to see our boys all now looking professional.

“It gives the players a real sense of pride and belonging.”
