Redpath Albion AFC & Sports Club
is delighted to announce a record-breaking sponsorship deal with Leith Company

New Kit for Senior - Youth - Junior Teams
(Click pic for more detail)



Trinity Roofing
The establishing of this new Sporting Partnership will give the club financial stability for the next five seasons
Trinity will be prime kit sponsors for the Senior, Youth and Colts teams, with leisure kit also being provided
for the Senior and Youth squads.
The sponsorship package was formally discussed as long ago as March and agreements were finally confirmed in early June.
Trinity Roofing Owners, David Deery, an Ex-Redpath Albion player from the mid to late 90's, and Marie McClymont were both keen to invest in the club's development and was especially enthusiastic to be involved in the club's Golden Jubilee celebrations due to commence in July of this year
Trinity's investment is substantially greater than the club's biggest ever sponsorship package, recently enjoyed with the Fulfilment Factory which
was in place from 1999 to 2004. Initial sponsorship for club kit, will move towards a five figure sum with a series of additional smaller
sponsorship arrangements between the Club and Trinity Roofing, that will allow the club and local community to enjoy Albion's 50th Anniversary Celebration's due to commence in July 2007
