Ball boys at National League clubs around the country are sporting smart new bibs sponsored by League Express.

A stadium manager at one of the clubs recently suggested to one of our reporters that a set of matching bibs would be excellent for the ball boys, not only making them highly visible on the touchline but also helping to make them feel an important part of the club on gameday.

At League Express we decided to pick up that idea and run with it, and ball boys at Doncaster Lakers (right) and Widnes Vikings (below) are just two clubs who have received a supply of the bibs so far. Eagle-eyed supporters may also have spotted them up and down the touchlines at Batley Bulldogs, Castleford Tigers, Celtic Crusaders, Gateshead Thunder, Hemel Stags, Keighley Cougars, Leigh Centurions, London Skolars, Oldham Roughyeds, Swinton Lions, Workington Town and York City Knights!

If your National League One or Two club would like a free set of League Express sponsored ball boy bibs, we have more sets arriving soon, so to reserve a set, please contact Honor James at the League Express office either by calling 01484 401895 or email honor@totalrl.com

Any club wishing to buy a similar set of bibs with their own dedicated branding can contact our Bradford based supplier at www.trainingbibsdirect.co.uk for prices and options.
