On the 21st and 22nd of February, Morton in the Community hosted their annual awards evenings for the small sided teams for what will go down as another successful year for our boys’ teams.
The evening was hosted by Football Project Worker, Blair Kelly who began proceedings with a reflection on 2019 and the success it brought to Morton in the Community. Highlights of the year include our 2012’s squads going to the Drumchapel tournament, Three of our 2010s being signed up by Morton Youth academy and our 2009’s heading off to St Georges (England’s national training facility) to compete in a tournament and see first-hand what a national team training facility are like.
Blair then went on to outlay the plans for the rest of 2020 including the well anticipated annual Cappielow Tournament and thanked all the Coaches, players and parents for their continued support of Morton in the Community.
