Campbeltown club celebrates girls’ footballing success
Campbeltown and District Juvenile Football Association (CDJFA) has celebrated the successes of its under-10, under-12 and under-14 girls.
The youngsters gathered at Campbeltown Picture House on Sunday January 7 for their 2023 prizegiving ceremonies, before signing up for the 2024 season.
First in the spotlight, the Wright Hair Right Nowsponsored under-10 girls collected their participation medals for completing the 2023 season.
“Thank you very much to all the officials for everything they have achieved with the section,” said a CDJFA spokesperson. “We look forward to seeing the girls in the 2024 season.”
Next up was the PT Painting and Decorating-sponsored under-12 girls who have
“come on immensely” over the last season, according to their coaches, and have been enjoying playing at football festivals, including joining in at several mixed events.
The association has two special awards for seven-a-side teams, the CDJFA Award, chosen by officials, and the Players’ Player Award.
The officials agreed to award Emma Johnston the CDJFA Award for her commitment, dedication, fair play and improvement since joining the club. The Players’ Player Award went to Niamh McSporran, which sums up the impact she has had on her teammates.
“Well done to Emma and Niamh,” said the association’s spokesperson. “Keep up the good work. Everyone in the team should be proud of their efforts.”
Finally, the Robertson Brothers-sponsored under-14 girls received their 2023 participation medals, as well as their CDJFA and Players’ Player awards.
Sophie Robertson was chosen for the CDJFA Award, while Lily King took home this year’s Players’ Player Award.
“Well done to Sophie and Lily,” said the spokesperson. “It is great to see all the girls, many of whom have been part of the association since they were three years old, continuing to play football.”
