While these players took home individual awards, this season has been built on the effort, commitment and togetherness of the entire squad. Every single player has contributed to the success we’ve enjoyed this year and every one of them should be incredibly proud 👏🏻

The progress these boys have made since last season has been remarkable. Through hard work, dedication and a real team first attitude, they have earned every bit of success that has come their way.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the evening and the season so special:

⭐ Arrowz Sports Lounge for hosting our event. The boys had a brilliant time enjoying the darts and pool, and the mic’d up area provided the perfect setting for the awards presentation 💙

⭐ Stacey’s Airy Delights for creating our fantastic presentation display. Many of you may already have seen Stacey’s incredible World Cup display at Livingston Designer Outlet - we were delighted to have secured her amazing talents help make the evening extra special 👏🏻

⭐ Our committee members who work tirelessly behind the scenes organising matches, referees, pitches, fundraising, kits, events and so much more. Your tireless dedication keeps everything running and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do 👏🏻

⭐ Our coaching team for the countless hours spent planning sessions, delivering training and supporting every player throughout the season. Your passion, commitment and belief in the boys has played a huge part in their development and success. The clear dedication that you have for every single player shines through and we couldn’t be more greatful for you guys 👏🏻

⭐ Our parents, families and supporters, for your unwavering support throughout the year. From early morning starts to standing on the sidelines in every kind of weather, your encouragement means more than you know. Thank you for being with us every step of the journey 💙👏🏻

To finish the season as both League Champions and President’s Cup Winners is a tremendous achievement and one that every player, coach, volunteer and supporter should be proud of 🎉

🏆 Presidents Cup Final - Match Report 🏆

Bathgate Thistle 2 - 1 Armadale Athletic

Yesterday, the squad played against Armadale Athletic in the A league Presidents Cup Final

⚽️ Goals:
Jaxon
Diarmid

From the first whistle the boys played with confidence and purpose, creating chances and controlling large spells of the game. Armadale battled hard throughout and made it a fiercely competitive final that remained in the balance right until the very end!🎢

When the game demanded it most, the squad showed incredible resilience and togetherness. All 16 players dug deep, worked tirelessly for one another and refused to let the opportunity slip away. Then, with only seconds remaining on the clock, Diarmid produced a moment of magic, finding the net from distance to secure a dramatic victory and spark scenes of celebration 👏🏻

To finish this season as B league champions, reach the final of the League Cup and win the A league Presidents Cup is a remarkable achievement. Every player should be immensely proud of what they have accomplished together. Their hard work, commitment and belief has paid off 👏🏻

⭐ Congratulations to all of our brilliant players on all of thier hard earned achievements and a season to remember! We can’t wait to celebrate the season at our end of year bash tomorrow 🎉

Thank you to West Calder for hosting the President’s Cup Final 💙 A big thank you to Armadale for a very well fought final and for inviting us to be part of a fantastic occasion 💙 Thank you to all of the parents, families and supporters who have backed the team throughout the season, we couldn’t appreciate you more 💙
