NO-ONE could deny that Malton and Norton Rugby Union Club Under-12s are on the right track.

They are now looking smart in brand new livery after local train operator TransPennine Express bought entire new kits for the 30-strong Malton and Norton U12s' squad for the new season.

Said TransPennine Express station manager at Malton, Eddie Monaghan: "We are delighted to see the teams kitted out in their new strip and as a major regional company with a local presence we are really pleased that we can provide this kind of support."

The kit sponsorship coincides with the introduction of new trains on the Scarborough-Malton-York service.

TransPennine Express is bringing new trains into service this month as part of a £250 million investment in rail travel for the North of England.
