KENNOWAY STAR HEARTS F.C HOST VISIT FROM FIFE MSP
MSP for Mid Fife & Glenrothes, Jenny Gilruth, was today (Monday) welcomed by Kennoway Star Hearts Football Club at Treaton Park in Star.
Brian Davidson, Treasurer of the club, provided the MSP with a tour of the facilities in Treaton Park and explained how the club is encouraging almost 200 boys and girls to play football.
The facilities at the ground are in need of investment and refurbishment. The club approached Ms Gilruth for support in locating funding which may be available via grant opportunities.
Commenting on the visit, Steven Black, the clubs Secretary said –
‘I am pleased Jenny took time to visit Treaton park as we believe it to be a great centre of the local community.
Local youngsters make up several teams from fun fours all the way through five, seven, nine and eleven a side. The pathway from youths all the way to senior age groups is something all in the community get behind. The support from locals in attending the matches helps push the teams on for positive results’.
Commenting after the visit, Jenny Gilruth said –
‘It was a pleasure to visit Kennoway Star Hearts Football club. It is great to see how inclusive the club is, with football being offered to girls and boys of all ages and abilities.
Clubs like Kennoway Star Hearts only exist because of the dedication of volunteers to grass roots football. I’d like to commend Brian and the team at KSHFC for all they do to support football in the community and I wish them all the best for the clubs future success’.
