Bowman Rebecchi Extends Its Support For Youth Football In Inverclyde

Inverclyde’s largest independent property firm, Bowman Rebecchi has continued its support to St Andrew's Boys Club by becoming the 2016-17 cohorts’ main sponsor.

The team was formed in March 2021 following the lifting of lockdown restrictions and is led by head coach Mark McDevitt and his assistant coaches, providing twice-weekly training sessions for over 20 boys and girls.  

To help support the continued development of the 4-and-5-year old’s, St Andrew’s were looking for sponsorship now that youth football is back underway across Scotland.  

Gourock-based firm, Bowman Rebecchi stepped in to support the team as it continues to develop the skills and technique of its players, proving support towards the clubs training kit and raincoats. 

The club has also received support from Greenock maritime business Clyde Outboards as well as trampoline centre Elev8, alongside the players and families own fundraising, 

Reflecting on the new sponsorship, Mark said:

“On behalf of the club and parents, I would like to say a big thank you to Bowman Rebecchi and all of our sponsors, as well as the coaches for their invaluable support volunteering and fundraising, to make football affordable for all.  

“We are delighted to be able to provide all of our players with a complete set of training kits to ensure they are all uniformed to continue their development going forward with St Andrew’s BC.” 

Bowman Rebecchi provides specialist local commercial property services across the west of Scotland. Earlier this year, its sister arm Bowman Rebecchi Letting acquired Castle Estates, making it the largest independent residential lettings business in Inverclyde.  

Bowman Rebecchi Director, Andrew Bowman, whose children also play with the team, said:  

"We are delighted to support Mark and his team. Having been involved in youth football myself, I know how vital it is to provide the best facilities and kit to enable the team to thrive.  

“Bowman Rebecchi is proud to support a range of local groups and organisations including St Andrew’s BC, who provide outstanding and important opportunities for young people.  

"Youth football in Inverclyde plays a huge part in so many local people's lives and it is fantastic to be able to support the team going forwards."
