SPONSOR boards recognising the hard work of key workers throughout the coronavirus pandemic will have a home at Tranent Juniors’ ground.

Three sponsor boards will be dotted around the pitch at Foresters Park as a mark of recognition to those doing their bit during the global virus outbreak.

David Innes, chairman of the club, felt it was a fitting gesture.

He said: “That was the first thing we thought of doing during the summer.

“We wanted to thank the NHS; my wife works with them.

“A lot of the guys on the committee have friends in the NHS.

“It was a no brainer.”

The sponsor boards feature a rainbow, with colourful drawings of rainbows appearing in windows the length and breadth of the country during the pandemic.

The message on the sponsor board reads: “Thank you! NHS staff, front-line services, support services and key workers.”

Mr Innes said that two sponsor boards were already in place at the ground, with plans for a third to be erected.
