Scottish Amateur Football News Leave a comment

Darren Kelly has revealed the lure of being a team manager for the first time helped build the foundation of Barrhead United AFC last February.

Now with assistant manager/ secretary Chris Bonner as a “coaching team”, United will look to make a first-season impression in the Only Sport Ltd- sponsored Championship organised by the GDSFC.

Next month, they hope for plenty of positives in a variety of friendlies. The list includes Ferguslie Star Sunday, Arthurlie Amateurs, and Maryhill Black Star.

In another exclusive for @AmmyFitbaNews, Darren Kelly told me:. “I previously worked with a Sunday team for two seasons, but as assistant manager., and wanted to take a step further with my own team, and get some achievements for the local boys.”

“We train on Thursday nights once we are back and our local ( home) ground is Cowan Park, Astro.”

“Our home kit will be sponsored by the Wee Snack Shack, which is a local Barrhead (Takeaway Roll Shop ) business.”

Southside Spartans AFC are rated among the favourites for another title success in the GDSFC campaign.

Spartans already head an impressive list of clubs in the Only Sport Ltd sponsored Premiership set-up.

The quality and variety of 36 clubs in league membership will undoubtedly increase competition at all levels.

There appears to be a good mixture of established amateur clubs alongside newcomers.

Dumbarton United AFC have a proud history dating back to 1958, Maryhill Black Star AFC can be relied to continue their ethos of possession-based quality football out from the back, and first season Renfrew Rovers AFC aim to give local talent a platform to showcase individual ability from their base at New Western Park.
