“Players selected to represent West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue are now able to walk out against our opponents in the kit SPG has provided, feeling confident and professional. The support SPG has provided the team in funding this new kit has been amazing and is a big part of our push for a successful team that firefighters in West Yorkshire want to be a part of.”
