WREXHAM Town Police Station FC has been issued with their new kit this week ahead of their first away friendly.

Made by Macron in Wrexham, the strips were funded by the North Wales Police Sport Association.

The police side formed earlier this year in a bid to forge stronger links between officers and the communities they serve.

Friendlies against Bellevue FC, Yellow and Blue, and Wrexham Inclusion have already proved successful and helped the police side to forge stronger links with the Wrexham community.

Striving to build on the early success of the project, the club will now play against the fundraising team from Hospice Of The Good Shepherd in Chester on Saturday, April 9.

Sgt Dave Smith said: “We’re grateful to the NWP Sport Association for the funding of these kits, which will provide us with a change strip to play teams where we may have had a colour clash.

“We can now also field two sides if there is a requirement.”
