Last weekened we hosted our annual summer Festival, an incredibly successful festival for the club as we hosted multiple age groups across 2 weekends with thousands of players, matches and medals 🥇

We thank our facility partners Galaxy Sports Little Kerse for hosting again and the staff who keep the place ticking over.

For our 2016’s we had the two teams out on the field performing very well and showcasing their talent against teams from across Scotland.

6 games for each team, maximum pre season minutes for all players, an issue free day with excellent football and plenty happy faces at the end of the day!

Thankyou to all the clubs who supported us and took part, we will see you again.

Good luck with your seasons ahead 🤝

A terrific signing as Nairn joins us from Sauchie Juniors, a very technical player with excellent footwork, pace, energy and an eye for a goal or 3!

Works hard for the team defensively too and is excellent in his 1v1’s.

Nairn has fitted in seamlessly with the group and we are excited to see him playing for Gairdoch this season ahead 🔥

Massive congratulations to our midfield powerhouse as he signs on the dotted line with Livingston FC academy ✍️ ⚫️🟡

Very well deserved, since Blake has arrived at Gairdoch he has knuckled down, worked extremely hard on his game and is just a terrific kid to work with 👏

Livingston have a very good player on their books and we can’t wait to follow his progress 🙌

Well done Blake 🔥

As always the annual trip to St Anne’s delivers an incredible weekend for the team, more incredible memories made in a fun filled weekend 👌

𝙂𝘼𝙄𝙍𝘿𝙊𝘾𝙃 𝙂𝙊𝙇𝘿 -

Arriving at the tournament with low numbers due to last minute changes we had to seek support from our friends at St. Annes Football Club and with Sammy and Ellis joining the Black & Gold for the day we had the numbers to compete an that we did.

Up against some decent opposition and a different style of play on the grass the boys handled it well after a slow start, playing against a fantastic Halifax Girls squad who knocked it about well. We came through our group games in a respectable 3rd place qualifying for the “Cup” section of the tournament. We knew finishing 3rd meant we qualify for Cup and play Gairdoch Black but we weren’t changing our ethos and we won the game to set up an inter club tie in the QF

A superb game in the QF with two excellent Gairdoch teams going at it .. the Blacks edging it with a 0-1 victory 👏

𝙂𝘼𝙄𝙍𝘿𝙊𝘾𝙃 𝘽𝙇𝘼𝘾𝙆 -

A strong side who went down looking to further their previous success at this tournament. We competed very well in the groups winning the games with only 1 defeat against the group winners in contestable circumstances but we accepted this and finished in a very good second place, this meant a QF in the “Cup” section.

We then came up against Gairdoch Gold in the QF and it was a good tight game with boy teams playing excellent football, the right way and the best football of the day we feel. Blacks edging the tie 1-0 with Vinnys great taken strike 👌

Into the SF against fellow Scots Valspar from Ayrshire we knew it’d be a tough tie, both teams competed well with Gairdoch getting the important result to progress to the final against Foxhall

Now the Final against Foxhall, the team who narrowly beat us 1-0 in the groups, we sought revenge and competed well however tired legs, different format of longer ball and grass made the final just one step too far on the day, we feel we could do better but it wasn’t too be.

_____________

In summary yet again both Gairdoch teams displayed impressive football, impeccable behaviour and great sportsmanship as the both teams progressed from the groups in the top 3 to compete for the cup, sadly playing against each other again but that’s the luck of the draw.

Both Gairdoch teams performed very well and done the club proud.

Football aside - the full weekend is excellent, Blackpool pleasure beach and Central Pier providing excellent entertainment for the squad all weekend with the weather playing its part ☀️

Untill next year St Anne’s Football Club 🤝

Our flying dynamic winger 𝗠𝗔𝗫 𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗡 has been on the radar of a few teams recently and has earned the right to enter the Livingston FC academy set up to undertake additional training and games 👏

Well in Max, what a character this lad is and he’s worked hard recently to do what he does best, exciting to watch, 1-1 dominant and a real handful when blistering down the wing.

Max joins up with his club teams Blake and Sam which will only help him showcase his best at Livi 👌

Keep up the good work 𝗠𝗔𝗫 ⚫️🟡
