The Livingston shopping centre provided the team, which is the only junior team in West Lothian to have received the SFA quality mark for their high standard of coaches and team officials, with branded football shirts to get them off to a good start in 2008.

Chris Hulme, treasurer of the Broxburn Colt under 14’s team, said: “We are extremely grateful to Almondvale Shopping Centre for providing the junior team with these fantastic football shirts. We are confident the team will have another successful year and look great on the pitch with their new shirts.”
