Football teams are very hard to run ,if you haven't got the backing of parents its a non starter.

Let coaches do there thing & stick by them 💯.
Ive had loads of parents that did this & think they have the feeling we all get from football.

Best of the best these guys

Family togetherness & love always ❤️

Jude mac millian -

Another big time player ,every season he has scooped awards and it was merited.
Been a rock for this team last 3 seasons ,every game he knows whats required & gives it everything every game.
Listens and leads by example a leader to all the players.
Took over as captain half way through the season, he showed readership and showed in our performances over the season.
My type a player he leaves it out on the park and believes in his coaches & joy to coach.

Well done jude 👏

Lewis gray -

Lewis came middle of last season ,unfit struggling with injury, we seen he had something there in him ,
At hillwood thistle we say the truth to every player not everone likes it but we do,last Presentation lewis listened to what we had to say for him individualy to kick on , what was his requirements , what he had to do. He never missed a pre season session he grafted in the way every player should do at pre season & think he had the best season in his young career so far.
Another player very consistent over the full season wanted to give its his all for coaches and his team mates , again standard set.

Hillwood th 3 v 4 renfrew

Bit of a mixed bag
Started well, then conceded 2 goals at their 1st chances of switching off.
Got a good reaction and got back into the game. had chances to go in front didn’t take them
Conceded a weak 3rd goal & and then the 4th
We kept going and got a goal near the death
Always chasing the game, though, and never giving ourselves a real chance
Effort in parts without quality
