It's that time of year again, and time for the Ayr United Football Academy to thank all the sponsors that have parted with their hard earned cash to support the Academy.

From pubs to electricians, Americans to Grandfathers, we thank you all.

Every single sponsor that kindly parts with the green stuff is really appreciated by the players, coaches and staff at the Academy and manages to help the Academy reach the targeted £60'000 that it costs to pay for the approximate 75 youth development players.

All the cash received from these sponsors goes directly to the paying of coaching facilities, strips, coaching materials, travelling costs and transport vehicles for the players. All the staff are volunteers and with Ayr United Football Academy being a self sustaining charity, all this money is ring fenced solely for the development of these players and nothing else, making the sponsors money work directly for the players.

We thank you all!
