New kit has ‘The Edge’

sd3291630md26edge.jpgMarket Drayton Sunday football team The Edge FC has unveiled its football kit for the new season.

The team is being sponsored by Market Drayton trader Andy Brown of Sport United in Shropshire Street.

The Edge has had a few name changes along the way. Among them was Knighton Social and the team was managed by Steve Watkins before his retirement two years ago, making way for current boss Louis Mazan.

Since taking over, Louis has brought the team back to Market Drayton and rebuilt the side.

They were in Telford Sunday League Division 2 last season and gained promotion to Division 1.

Louis said: “This is very much a family team and we’re all friends, on and off the pitch.

“But it’s not just the players that are involved in the success - it’s the wives, girlfriends and supporters that have helped the team stay so strong.

“We’re also delighted with the commitment that Andy Brown, Jeff Turner and the Greenfields Sports Association have shown us because without it, it wouldn’t be possible to survive.”
