Usk Football Club has received a financial boost from phone and broadband provider TalkTalk.

The club will be sponsored by TalkTalk for the next 12 months, with the funding being used to buy new kit for the team.

Residents in Usk, Llanbadoc and Llangeview will also benefit from a £50,000 investment by TalkTalk, which is expanding its Next Generation Network.

Russell Carter, Under 12 coach at Usk Football Club, said: "We are very pleased that TalkTalk has chosen to support Usk Football Club over the next 12 months.

"The donation has been used to purchase a new kit for each of our players, which not only makes us look really smart but is great for morale."

Tristia Clarke, commercial director at TalkTalk, said: "In this amazing Olympic year, TalkTalk is delighted to be supporting sport at grassroots level up and down the country.

"Usk Football Club is a fantastic example of a local club engaging and enthusing the next generation to enjoy sport. We wish them every success with future endeavours."
