📰 | CLUB STATEMENT

After careful consideration we are devastated to announce that the club will be resigning its membership for the AAFA and will be folding, pending acceptance of our resignation.

This is not how we envisioned things coming to an end, however with an ever shrinking squad and a large increase in costs for the forthcoming season, running the club is no longer viable.

I would like to thank everyone who has pulled on a Machar strip for their hard work, commitment and dedication to the team. It’s these players that kept the club alive and gave us so many memories along the way.

If any clubs are looking for players please don’t hesitate to get in touch (07402 074138 - Struan). I would also like to extend my apologies to the clubs that we have arranged friendlies with.

It’s been an absolute blast. Machar til we die

Signing off 💚💜

Curtain comes down on this season with a win against 8 man uni. Fair play to our opponents for playing with a much depleted squad

FT: Machar 1-10 Uni

A tough night at Shedds as we are well beaten by a good Uni side. Not much else to say other than it needs to be better in the final 3 games of the season.
