After a wet and horrible night at training tonight the kids were invited down to the Kraken Chippy - East Kilbride for some suppers.

As you can see kids were absolutely buzzing and hungry by the looks of it 😅😂

Massive thanks to Team at the Kraken for their kindness and generosity, it's brilliant to have good people like this in the community 👌

Best chippy in EK by a mile 💯

Today we played our last game of 5s yesterday, and we are genuinely so proud of all of them for how hard they have worked, developed, and grown this year. We have also had a few new faces join the team and it so good to see how they have integrated into the team ⚽❤️

It has been an extremely tough year for the team, but we have stuck together and worked hard to keep the smiles on these kids faces 🙌

We would like to thank the parents for the support they have given to not only the kids but the coaches as well 👌❤️

Thanks to our sponsors Plean Street Dental , Dr Samantha Dreghorn and Bumblebee because without their generosity we wouldn't be able to have such nice looking kits 👌

We are looking forward to building the team and getting ready for 7s.

❤️⚽

🧤 What to tell young Goalkeepers:
It’s tough being the last line of defense — especially when the goals feel bigger than your bedroom wall. But here’s what I remind them:

1️⃣ The ball has to get past EVERYONE before it reaches you.
2️⃣ The goals are oversized at this age — don’t expect to stop everything.
3️⃣ Your feet are just as important as your hands. Be confident with both.

As they grow, their role grows too.
💡 The 4 key jobs of a goalkeeper:
✔️ Save the ones you’re expected to.
✔️ Distribute quickly and accurately.
✔️ Be the voice that organizes the defense.
✔️ And every now and then — pull off a save that makes the crowd go “WOW.”
