Regular readers of www.dundeewestend.com will know that over the past year, I have been keen to give support to the Riverside Boys Under 10s football team (click on headline above to view an earlier article about the team).Earlier today, I was pleased to take part in a photocall to mark the launch of a new association between the team and prominent Dundee Amateur Football Team, Riverside Athletic.
Riverside Athletic – celebrating its 40th anniversary this year – is taking the under 10s team under its wing so that it will become its ‘junior arm’ of the long-standing and prominent Amateur Team.
Riverside Boys Under 10s Team was formed last year by West End Community Council’s Vice Chair, Paul Johnson.
Paul said, “Joining forces with the long-established Riverside Athletic is a great step-forward for the youngsters in our Under 10s team and it will allow the team to go from strength to strength.
“Although our Under 10s team was only formed last year, it has attracted good support from local children and their parents. Prior to it being formed, there was no under 10s team for the West End of Dundee, and the new link with Riverside Athletic will move things further in a positive direction.”
Many thanks to the Evening Telegraph for covering today's photocall - here's a photo from it above.
