A LOCAL boys’ football team have kicked off the new season with a major boost, thanks to the Skene Group Limited.

Glenrothes Strollers, who play in the Fife Football Development League, were presented with strips worth around ₤1000 by the Viewfield-based company, which supports numerous organisations and good causes throughout the area.

Said the team’s manager John Buchanan: "With a squad of around 18, it costs a lot to kit out the boys with strips and tracksuits, and we are extremely grateful to the Skene Group for their generosity."
