Greenock Morton Community Trust Newsletter – September 2014

Well we are now in the final third of our first season as Morton girls and what a season it’s been. We now have teams established at under 11’s, under 13’s and under 15’s with the under 9’s being a work in progress. So far we have had our u13s and u15s winning tournaments bringing silverware to the Community Trust office, we have had our u13s beating St Mirren 4-3 in dramatic fashion and our u15s winning 6-5 in the last minute of the game and in with a chance of winning the league!

Congratulations also to Caitlin McKee who has just completed a block of training with the Regional Development Squad. Not bad for out first season.

On Sunday 21st September Morton girls took part in their sponsored walk. This event incorporated all age groups as well as parents and coaches. The younger age groups walked a 3 mile route along the esplanade whilst the u13s and above took in a 10 mile route from Battery Park to Lunderston Bay and back. The girls had a great day stopping off at Lunderston Bay for some football and paddling in the water in the uncharacteristic September sunshine. A huge well done to all players and coaches for taking part and a big thank you to all parents who came along and supported the event. So far the total raised is £1,108 with more sponsor money due in.

We are also in the planning stages of our end of year presentation which will take place on Friday 28th November so all players and parents keep it free – more details to follow.
