YOUNG Stourbridge footballers got the new season off to a smart start in kit sponsored by a company in Lye.

Avanti Kitchens, from Hayes Lane, have teamed up with Stourbridge FC to sponsor playing and training kit which they hope will inspire members of the junior section and help them get in to winning ways.

Stourbridge FC chairman, Andrew Pountney, said: “Having Avanti on board to offer this kind of support will be a real boost for the youngsters”.
