USK Football Club has received a financial boost from TalkTalk, Britain's value home phone and broadband provider.

The club will be sponsored by TalkTalk for the next 12 months and the funding will be used to buy new kit for the team.

Residents in Usk, Llanbadoc and Llangeview will also benefit from a £50,000 investment by TalkTalk, which is expanding its Next Generation Network to provide residents with access to fast, reliable, better value and more secure broadband.

Built into the broadband network itself and unique to TalkTalk is the award winning network-level security service HomeSafe™.

Homesafe gives customers control over the type of websites their household can access across every single device that connects to the internet in their home.

Russell Carter, Under-12 Coach at Usk Football Club said, "We are very pleased that TalkTalk has chosen to support Usk Football Club over the next twelve months. The donation has been used to purchase a new kit for each of our player which not only makes us look really smart but is great for morale".

Tristia Clarke, Commercial Director at TalkTalk explained, "By investing in the exchange in Usk TalkTalk will be able to bring our great value offers to even more families in the area and give customers access to our fantastic security service HomeSafe™. In this amazing Olympic year, TalkTalk is also delighted to be supporting sport at grassroots level up and down the country. Usk Football Club is a fantastic example of a local club engaging and enthusing the next generation to enjoy sport. We wish them every success with future endeavours."
