A THREE Towns youth football team are looking fresh after getting new kits this month.
TASS Thistle 2012 Blue have got hold of new kits thanks in part to their new front sponsor Ian and Marc Riddex Heating (www.riddexheating.co.uk).
The father and son business duo were delighted at how the youngster's topped turned out - perfectly matching their own logo.

The Three Towns business earned the spot on the front of their tops after contributing to a unique sponsorship initiative ran by the club.
Ahead of purchasing their new kits, the coaches and committee opted to run a 'hidden team' to decide who would be their main sponsor.
Businesses from across the area where able to purchase a space on the card - and once all spots were filled a draw took place for the winner.
Once the card was full, this also covered the full cost of the new kits.
It was the Riddex name which came out as the winner, much to the delight of Ian and Marc.

They said: "We were more than happy to offer our support to the club when we heard about their hidden team initiative.
"We never expected to win and were just happy to help in some way with this group of talented, enthusiastic youngsters.
"It was a pleasant surprise to have the luck of the draw but we must say we are delighted with how the kits have turned out.
"We look forward to seeing how the team progress this season, and will be keeping a keen eye on results!"
While the coaching team at TASS were equally delighted with how well their sponsorship plans played out ahead of their latest season in the Paisley Johnstone and District Youth Football League.

"This will be a huge help as we head into the new season, and the boys can't wait.
