… to our match officials from the weekend. Everyone involved in the weekend has a connection in some way to CDJFA and shows how it swings on roundabouts.
We definitely could not run the Campbeltown Football Festival-CDJFA without you.
Daniel McE has been a player at the club since he was 3 years old until his team folded in 2022 and played in David Patersons first festival in 2012 (I am sure) came back to officiate the 2015 section.
Islay L and Jake McE were our youngest of match officials at the weekend. Being just 13 and 14 years old it can be very daunting but they both handled the pressure very well. Well done to both of you. You really should be proud of your efforts.
Local ref Archie Mitchell stepped up as always and supported the 11aside entries at Aqualibruim.
Chris B, the nephew of David Martin who was once the backbone of youth football in Campbeltown and also a parent at the club stepped up and officiated the 2015 games at 7aside.
Ellis R, Calum E, Euan D, Craig L, Michael McK, Lorne P, Scot G all played football as youths in Campbeltown and are now playing for Campbeltown Pupils AFC
Past Chair and present Chair of the club David P and Rhys and friend Johnny also pulled on their boots for the day and helped the young teams out.
Last but certainly not least in Gordy G who as an uncle of the club, Sean G a parent at the club and Stephen G a parent and past coach at the club came forward as a volunteer and supported the 2015 age group.
Thank you all.
