The Barbour factory in Crook have kindly kitted out the Hunwick Under-18s cricket team with new sweaters.

Manager of the team John Pratt said: "Initially we contacted Mr Laidler who is the group factory manager and he passed our letter on to Mrs Henderson, the manager of the Crook factory.

"The sweaters are not only a nice gesture but the excellent quality in our club colours and the sizes and everything else are spot on, we are very grateful to them."

Mrs Henderson manager of the Crook factory which celebrates its tenth birthday tomorrow said: "We're always looking to sponsor clubs in the Crook and district area.

"We knitted 13 sweaters at our knitwear factory in Galashiels, Scotland and fortunately got them ready for the Hunwick under 18s cricketers before the cricket season started."
