Match Kit Requirements
To play matches, a match shirt will be required – these are sold at the cost to us from our new supplier Kit World, this can be between £35 and £38 depending on size. We can also supply team shorts and club socks.
Note: We have had some issues regarding identified vs actual size of some kit items and extended delivery times, so it is important to review and discuss any kit requirements with your manager as early as possible and take his advice on what is required and what is readily available via the club before ordering anything yourself.
If you have any questions whatsoever, please contact the relevant Team Manager, or email youth@barfc.co.uk .
