Ahead of the forthcoming 2022-23 football season, Clarbeston Road AFC has unveiled two exciting new playing kits for its senior teams competing in the First and Third Divisions of the Manderwood Pembrokeshire League.
The kits have been provided by new sponsor, Broadway Partners and the First Team kit was worn for the first time on Monday when the team played, and won, the first tie of the club’s annual memorial tournament in memory of former player and supporter, Michael Thomas.
The tournament is held annually and over the past 20 years has raised around £10,000 for local charities.
This year’s tournament involved Broad Haven, Kilgetty, Llanboidy and Clarbeston Road clubs.
The final will be played at Clarbeston Road’s Knock Field today, Friday, August 5. Followed by a BBQ at the Cross Inn.
“The new kits will be used interchangeably by our two senior teams to cater for colour clashes with other teams,” said club chairman Steve Brown.
“We are delighted to announce this new relationship with Broadway Partners and we would like to express our gratitude to them for their support.”
Clarbeston Road AFC was awarded Wales Community Club of the Year under the FAW trust in 2020 and is entirely supported by a group of committed volunteers.
The club provides sporting opportunities for disabled players with its own Pan-Disability group, the Clarby Warriors, and became the first Pembrokeshire League football club to be awarded the insport Club Ribbon.
