KML Electrical Support Youth Rugby
Ballymena Under 17 Rugby Team were presented with a new kit on Saturday by their sponsor Kevin McLoughlin. Kevin is the proprietor of KML Electrical in Glenariff and kindly offered to sponsor a new kit for the Youth Section. Kevin said that he was delighted to be able to assist the Youth Section at Ballymena, knowing how hard they work at involving boys from all communities and backgrounds in sport and saw this as an opportunity to recognise the good work being undertaken.
The new kit was also welcomed by the players and coaches. Tom Wiggins Ballymena’s Community Development Officer stated that it was great to see that even in this harsh economic climate local people value the work we do and are willing to support our efforts. The kits will not only mean we play well but the boys will also be one of the best turned out teams in the league.
