Football partnership being formed

Jun 20 2008

A FOOTBALL partnership is being formed in North Muirton between Jeanfield Swifts Juniors, Gannochy Boys Club and St Johnstone Girls with the aim of forming a community football club in the North Perth area.

The new club, with the help of local schools and Perth and Kinross Council are working hard to provide a youth structure that will provide opportunities for boys and girls from primary age through to adulthood.

Although a number of boys, girls and adult teams are already set in place for next season, Jeanfield Swifts Community Sport Club would like to attract more players and adult volunteers.

The club is therefore hosting a football festival at North Muirton on Saturday, June 21, for the following:

P4/P5 boys, 10am-noon; P4/P7 girls, noon-2pm.

Everyone in this age category is more than welcome to attend. The club would like to create new boys teams at U10 and U11 level and are looking for players and adult volunteers at these age groups. St Johnstone Girls are also recruiting girls for their U11 and U13 teams.
