YOUNG footballers at a primary school in Dumbarton look proud as punch in their new strips.

The pupils at St Patrick’s have been kitted out in their new school sportswear thanks to the generosity of local company Smith Engineering. The company's founder Jim Smith is pictured with his grandchildren and members of the school football team.

The new kits were fully funded by the metal fabrication company.

Ms Julie Reilly, the school's depute head teacher, said: “Staff, parents and children of St Patrick's are extremely grateful to Smith Engineering for this wonderful gesture. The children would like to say thank you Mr Smith and Smith Engineering – our new strips are awesome.”
