As another exciting season of the Barclays Premiership reaches the homeward stretch, Barclays gave football fans in Newport the opportunity to get their hands on the ultimate prize in British football - the Barclays Premiership Trophy.

Football fans had the opportunity to have their picture taken with the Barclays Premiership Trophy on display and win a Barclays Premiership shirt of their choice.

The UK-wide whirlwind tour of the Barclays Premiership Trophy is designed to bring the most sought after prize in British football closer to fans.

Sarah Kirk, Barclays branch manager at Commercial Street, Newport said: "We were delighted to have the trophy at the branch. "Everyone was welcome to come down to the branch and have their photo taken with a trophy which John Terry held aloft last season. It's a great pleasure to offer this opportunity to our customers and football fans."

The Barclays Premiership Trophy is one of the most famous symbols in football. Due to its value, it is always flanked by two security guards when on display.
