IT is sought after by the finest football clubs in the country.

But Birchwood shoppers got a taste of victory when the Premier League Trophy was in Asda on March 10 to celebrate the opening of a Barclays branch in store.

Hazel Findlay, community spokesman at Asda Birchwood, said: “This was an exciting opportunity for our store.

“This was a unique chance to see the trophy and was about as close to it as you can get.

“The public were eager to have their pictures taken with it and thanks go to Barclays for bringing it in.”
