Trefonen Football Club have welcomed two new sponsors who have kindly provided new tracksuit jackets and polo shirts.

The new items of clothing, which were supplied by Macron in Wrexham, were received in the week prior to the club’s Bernie Jones Memorial Cup success in December,

The zip tracksuit jackets have been sponsored by Oswestry based family business J & I Carpets, a name which has had strong links with the village for many years.

Janet Walker, a director at J & I Carpets, said: “When we were asked if we could help Trefonen FC, it was an easy decision for us.

“Many of our staff have lived in the village for a number of years, so we wanted to show our support for the local football team, it’s a great way to help out by sponsoring the new tops, we wish them all the luck for the season.”

Club chairman, Simon Pugh who was instrumental in agreeing the sponsorship said “The club would like to thank J & I Carpets for their generous sponsorship of new tops, they look fantastic and it was great to see the squad showing them off both before and after our recent fixtures.”
