Black Horse saddles up to support team

AN East Lothian football team has received an early Christmas present, courtesy of leading motor finance firm Black Horse, which has come on board to provide them with a brand new strip.

Tranent Juniors BFC U8 was started up two years ago and this marks the first time that the under-eight team has received the backing of a big-name sponsor.

Lynn Worobec, who lives in Tranent and works at Black Horse's Edinburgh office, presented the team with their new strips Her son, six-year-old son Danny, plays for the team.

Gordon Nicol, who co-manages the team alongside Scott Buchanan and Keith Bowman, said: "We're a non-competitive squad playing four-a-side, but we hope to develop the team and players as they grow, moving on to seven and then eventually 11-a-side games. This support will aid us greatly in reaching that goal."
