York footballers ready to shine in brand new kit

Footballers for Elvington Harriers AFC are sporting a brand new kit thanks to a generous sponsor.

Bovis Homes has provided the striking blue kit for the senior team.

Founded 25 years ago, Elvington Harriers now has 13 teams, offering opportunities to all ages – from a Saturday morning session for players as young as four-years-old to its senior team for those 16 and over.

This season has also seen the club expand to include under 9 and under 12 girl’s teams.

The senior team, which will be wearing the new Bovis Homes sponsored kit, currently plays in division 3 of the York Minster Engineering League.

Elvington Harriers senior team manager Andrew Foster said: “The team is absolutely over the moon with their new kit, and it looks really smart. We’re all very grateful to Bovis Homes for its generous sponsorship.”

Bovis Homes is part of Vistry Yorkshire. Its regional managing director, Rob Spittles said: “It’s a real pleasure to be able to sponsor Elvington Harriers AFC and give back to a community in which Vistry Yorkshire operates. We wish the team every success for the rest of the season.”
