Power Technology Solutions is delighted to remind you of our sponsorship of a youth football club based in Johnstone, near Glasgow. “Johnstone Burgh 1996” have had  2 teams competing at this level for 4 years with a very settled group of players.

For Season 08/09 the club’s has decided to integrate both team to form a “super burgh” and a “feeder team” for the top side. Recently players have left “Burgh” to sign professional youth forms with both Glasgow Rangers and Celtic. Scouts from professional football clubs are often to be found at matches providing youngsters a fantastic platform to show their ability.

The sponsorship of Johnstone Burgh Youth Football Club has included the provision of playing kits and tracksuits complete with the PTS logo. This has also helped the teams administration in fulfilling their fixtures and providing facilities for the best available players in the area.

Willie Field, who is the PTS Construction Manager (Scotland) and SFA qualified for the youth football club comments:

“I’m delighted that such a high profile organisation as Power Technology Solutions has been able to provide sponsorship for Johnstone Burgh. The club performs a great service to the boys, of not only Johnstone, but to the surrounding area, who want to get into football and develop their football and team skills. This sponsorship has enabled the Youth team to compete against the best other clubs in the area. We would hope that all the players who have been part of the club over the last 4 years go on to play for football for many years to come at the highest level they can reach”.
