YOUNG footballers from the Auchinleck Talbot 2003 squad have repaid a generous gesture in kind.
Khumbalani Gama, who owns Dynamic Gym on the Caponacre Estate in Cumnock, sponsored the team last season.
His support enabled them to buy new tracksuits, strips and rain jackets, while he supplies the lads with juice after the game. Not only that, but he also supports the team by going to as many games as he can.
Club official Scott Mullen said: “He loves helping the boys out and helping out in his community and the boys decided they wanted to give something back. So they are sending their old strips from last season and their old football boots over to Gama’s brother who is a school teacher in Zimbabwe and they will go to the school team.”
Mr Mullen has asked for pictures of the Zimbabwean children wearing their Talbot kit to be sent to him and he will be sharing them with our readers.
