INVERKEITHING Hillfield Swifts are hoping to show their style on and off the pitch thanks to sponsorship from Fife Ethylene Plant.

The football club, which has more than 500 players from kids aged four up to seniors, as well as women's and walking football teams, scored a £5,000 grant from ExxonMobil, who operate the site at Mossmorran.

And now many of their 100-plus coaches will be top of the league in the fashion stakes with new branded tracksuits and T-shirts bought with the donation.

“Our coaches all give their time voluntarily to support all age groups at the club, and this fantastic support will allow us to provide our children’s and youth team coaches with branded coaching kits,” said Craig Reid, the club’s chairman.

“It means we can show our appreciation to the coaches and increase the sense of community within the club.”

The club has two training hubs, Dalgety Bay Leisure Centre and Ballast Bank in Inverkeithing, with Dalgety Bay the home ground for its senior team and the winter base for all teams, as it has floodlights.

Martin Burrell, plant manager at FEP, said: “Sport and fitness are important for everyone’s

health and wellbeing, whatever their age, and it is something we encourage in our workers.

“The Swifts play a big role in the local community for many people. We are proud to support them and wish all the teams the best of luck in the future.”
