First peek at the new club logo

Official launch of new strips

Ladies training this week had a special visitor in the shape of Morna Strachan, Clark Thomson’s Group Marketing and Communications Manager, who was there to mark the launch of the new sponsorship deal. Cue lots of photography in the freezing cold. You do it for the club, ladies!

First outing for new ladies strips

This weekend saw the first outing for the ladies under the new sponsorship deal with Clark Thomson. Gee’d up with the newly printed strips, the L2s delivered a seven-one victory over Dundee Uni 4s.  We must get new strip sponsors more often!
