In the younger age groups there is a waiting list but possibly some spaces for committed footballers in the “elevens” sections

But lack of sufficient facilities and the high cost of rental, and lack of sufficient adult help means that the club are unable to expand to eliminate the waiting lists.

Founder Ian Stevenson explained: “The facilities in Lenzie are at presently completely filled and some of the age groups are having to locate outside Lenzie to keep the sections going.

“More and more time goes into fundraising, when it could be used more efficiently working with the young people in the club, so that costs like £93 for the use of an Astro pitch for an elevens game can be met.”

Anyone able to help the club should text 07490185143.
