DOUNE CASTLE AFC has managed to secure a sponsorship package with the Fubar Nightclub in Stirling.

The venue generously agreed to aid the club with £850 this season with a similar amount coming to the club in 2017/18.

The cash injection means the Castle will be able to purchase a new match strip and polo shirts for the players, all bearing the Fubar logo.

In return, the footballers will hold three events a year at the venue, including the annual awards evening and the Christmas night out.

Fubar assistant manager Nicholas Leach, who recently presented the cash to Doune Castle secretary Willie Docherty, said: “Fubar is delighted to join forces with Doune Castle AFC, a club we know enjoys an outstanding reputation in the world of amateur football.

“All at the Fubar look forward to supporting the club to even greater success.

“We very much look forward to hosting these important dates in the club's social calendar and developing our partnership with the Castle.”
