“It allows us as coaches to gauge how all their hard work and their regular weekly training sessions is helping with their personal development.

“Competing against the top athletes in Scotland is a serious part of their development as athletes and the ongoing support from e-car Hebrides helps us with the associated costs that Island clubs have to bear to allow them to compete with the best.

“SRAC are grateful to E-car Hebrides for this sponsorship, and are always eager to attract additional club sponsors.

“We are currently in the process of seeking a new kit sponsor. So an opportunity is available if any local or Island based business might be interested.”

Seumas explains how the SRAC colours are very well traveled and can be seen throughout the UK and even abroad, competing in a variety of events.
