19 January 2026

For a second season SRP sponsor Blantyre Soccer Academy Under 21 Mens Team.

For a second time in recent years, Scottish Roads Partnership (SRP) have sponsored Blantyre Soccer Academy’s under 21 mens football team and purchased a new football strip and tracksuit for each of the 19 man squad. The soccer academy team plays in the Hills Solicitors 21’s Premiership within the Scottish Amateur Football League and continues to perform well in the top division. They train on Monday and Wednesday nights at Calderside High School in Blantyre, utilising the various astroturf pitches available. Derek Kelly, one of the  coaches at the Academy had contacted SRP, requesting sponsorship for the 2026 season and Graham Drummond, Operations Manager at SRP stated; ‘SRP are delighted to continue this partnership with Blantyre Soccer Academy, with the provision of new football kit for each of the mens under 21 players, displaying the company’s name in bold wording across the back of the team garments. It is great to be able to sponsor a local group that provides so much enjoyment, community cohesion, health and wellbeing to the participants of the soccer academy.’

Graham Drummond visited the team’s training facilities on Monday 19 January 2026, to view the team’s training facilities, speak to the players and have a team photograph taken, prior to a training session commencing.
