A junior football team have given themselves the nickname of 'The Undertakers' after a Co-op funeral firm sponsored their kits.

Co-op Funeralcare Alloa became the main sponsor for Sauchie Juniors 2011 Football team.

Arlene, funeral arranger for Co-op Funeralcare Alloa and George the funeral director presented the team with the kits.

The sponsorship deal sparked deep conversations among the boys about the 'taboo' subject of death and funerals.

James McQuillan and Steven Russell, the team's coaches, said they were grateful for Co-op Funeralcare Alloa's help.

The boys from the team, however, were unfazed, adopting their new nickname with pride.
