STARS’ SUPPORT FOR LOCAL CHARITY
The Dundee Texol Stars’ 2004/2005 campaign starts tomorrow, coinciding with the start of a new fund-raising venture (writes Katherine Trail).
Stars kick-off their season at the Keyline Cup tournament in Edinburgh, which stretches over the weekend and involves four teams.

The team have taken part in three training sessions so far, and are hoping that this will have given them enough time to find their feet.

Former Stars back-up netminder Stewart Rugg has signed for the Dundee Tigers Scottish National League team.

The Aberdeen-born 21-year-old spent three seasons with the Stars.

Meanwhile, Stars have joined forces with Radio Tay’s Caring For Kids charity, pledging to generate cash to help youngsters in Tayside and Fife during the coming campaign.

The team will be organising fund-raising throughout matches as well as donating a number of tickets to allow local children’s groups to come to each match.

Dundee-born Stars forward Paul Berrington said, “Every new season is exciting, but I’m really looking forward to the new challenges this year.

“Caring For Kids is such a worthwhile cause, and I know the team will do all they can to raise funds for the charity. It’s great to give something back to the community which supports us.”

Radio Tay’s Caring For Kids co-ordinator Alastair Brookes said, “Caring For Kids are absolutely delighted to be involved with the Stars, and hope that it proves to be a long and fruitful relationship.”
