We are delighted to announce that Fraser Fire & Security have joined the Soccer 7s family and agreed to sponsor one of our Super 5s teams for the next 3 years.
When asked why they wanted to sponsor a team within Soccer 7s, Stevie replied:
“I remember the year before I was at the age for playing Soccer 7s being told I was too young. I was absolutely devastated and cried for hours to my mum.”
“When my time came, it was brilliant playing in a competitive league with players from other primary schools. So many good players have come through Soccer 7s over the years and many have went on to play junior and highland league football.”
“It’s so important that we have organisations like Soccer s to get kids outside playing sports. Local business’ have a responsibility to support the area in which they operate so that’s why we have committed.”
The club’s Chairman, Paul Lynch added, “It’s fantastic to have local companies that want to give back to the community and support Soccer 7s. To have Fraser Fire & Security join us in sponsorship with no hesitation, really puts into perspective the impact that Soccer 7s has in the local community. We would not be able to continue to offer such an excellent facility to the children if it wasn’t for companies like Fraser Fire & Security.”

We are delighted to announce a new Super 5s team sponsor, with Murdoch Brothers Butchers taking up sponsorship for the next 3 years.
We had the opportunity to ask Graham Murdoch why he decided to sponsor a team within Forres Area Soccer 7s, and he said – “We’re delighted to sponsor Forres Soccer 7s because it provides young people of the town a fantastic opportunity to get involved in sport and make new friends outside of school. Moreover, the social and team-building skills these young people develop will stay with them for life. It’s great that Forres Area Soccer 7s is such an inclusive organisation with participation encouraged by both girls and boys.”
Paul Lynch, Chairman of Forres Area Soccer 7s also added “I am really pleased that Murdoch Butchers have agreed to sponsor a team with us. We have been dealing with them for the last couple of years, where they have been supplying our kitchen on a Sunday morning with lovely sausages. To have local companies show the support they do is overwhelming and Soccer 7s would not be able to offer such a great place for children without companies like Murdoch Butchers.”
Murdoch Brothers Butchers was established back in 1916, when the first Murdoch Brothers and their farming family established a butchers shop and fishmongers in Forres. Four generations later Master Butchers, brothers Graham and Ronnie Murdoch, are specialists in manufacturing award winning meat products and pies.

We are delighted to announce that the Cleaning Genie & Keith Simpson Flooring has become the Senior 7s sponsors for the next 3 years.
We had the opportunity to ask the Cleaning Genie herself, Danyelle Simpson, why she wanted to sponsor Soccer 7s – ‘I have been involved with volunteering for the Soccer 7’s for over 5 years now and when becoming a business owner 2 years ago it only seemed right. I started out as kitchen manager for the club and now have taken on the child protection officer role and have thoroughly enjoyed both roles, it’s so good for the kids to get up and out playing football on a Sunday morning and it’s even more rewarding that I can be part of a fantastic team to make that happen’
Keith Simpson also added ’ He’s grateful for the opportunity to give back and contribute to the club, from a football background I know with just a little support it can go along way. (Plus his wife didn’t give him the option) 🤣🤣
