Birthday celebrations all round

Glenrothes Strollers F.C. celebrated their 40th birthday on June 16th, but it was also a special day for Glenrothes Strollers Girls, as we also celebrated the founding of the section three years ago this month.

We celebrated this milestone with the under 11’s and under 13’s playing matches at Overstenton during the main 40th birthday fun day.  East Fife under 11’s and Bayside under 9’s also joined us to take part in what was a great day of football.

The weather was great, but the football was even better, with the under 11’s giving the spectators a thrilling match to watch. Both teams involved worked very hard and played with a quick tempo in what was an evenly matched game, and our girls showed some great passing ability throughout the 40 minutes. Well done to Ynes Kerr, Emma Swanson, Courtney Porter, Taylor Lawrie, Denver Hopkins, Brodie Clark, Kerys Blyth, Rachel Cunningham, Chloe Headland, Charlie Davies and Demi Smith.  Many of these girls who started out at Fun 4’s level 3 years ago have developed into a great team on and off the pitch.

On the same day at Overstenton, Bayside under 9’s played two ten minute Fun 4’s games against our girls and both sets of players did well.  Above all, they all had lots of fun.  It’s really great to be part of girls football – watching all these youngsters taking up the sport at such a young age.  Well done to everyone who took part on the day.
