VICTORIA Kings FC will appear in a new outfit when the GFF/STAG Elite League’s second round begins after receiving a new kit of 20 uniforms yesterday from Managing Director of Devcon Construction, Nolan Lancaster, at the company’s office at Robb and Albert streets.The Devon Construction Victoria Kings FC will now play in a fluorescent green jersey trimmed with dark blue and olive green shorts trimmed with black, and complemented by olive green socks.
In making the presentation to Technical Adviser of the team, Everal Mundy, the Devcon boss expressed his joy and honour to be associated with the side that have impressed him since he first saw them play in the 90s.
“My first experience with the Kings was at my hometown ground in BV where I saw them play a brand of football comparable with what we see on TV. Since then I have been a true fan of them so when my childhood buddy Everal Mundy approached me to come on board and support I had no hesitation.
“I love football and hold football close to my heart, although my first love used to be cricket. I plan to make this a long-term commitment, but initially it will be for three years,” Lancaster declared.
Lancaster added that he sees this opportunity as a means of giving back to the communities and which could deter the youths from going in the negative direction.
The Devcon boss also sent good wishes to the team: “I would also like to extend best wishes to the team and ask of them to all give 100 percent at all times.”
Former club president Mundy, in his remarks, spoke of the club’s gratitude for the sponsorship and the desire for a lasting relationship,
“This new beginning of relationship with Devcon is one that we are grateful for and I must say is very timely. We are happy and thankful that Mr Lancaster has decided to support us and we feel honoured to be associated with Devcon.
“We will wear this outfit with great pride and will take every opportunity to promote Devcon.
“This donation comes at a time when we are aiming to qualify for the CFU club Championship and no doubt it is timely. We look forward to not only a lasting relationship but one full of mutual benefits. From now on we will be branded Devcon Victoria Kings FC.”
The Kings are expected to christen their new uniforms this coming Sunday at Tucville ground when they clash with Buxton United in the GFF’s ‘Super Four’ tournament which also involves the Army and Fruta Conquerors.
Devcon Victoria Kings occupy third position in the 6-team GFF/STAG Elite League at the end of the first round of competition.
