on winning the divisional cup tonight vs a very good ekfc side. A wonder strike fit to win any game was the difference between the 2 teams of good young players.
Well done davy, div,george plus all the players winning the league and cup double
Another great day of football for the academy today. Just to be on a park playing is good and praying we would at least compete in games so to be winning games is a dream. 2012, 2010. 2008 winning games against good established teams makes us feel so proud. Unlucky to 2011s.
We would like to announce that Afc glasgow u18s will come under the banner of easterhouse FA to become part of our academy.
We hope we can offer the players in the future a pathway to semi pro or with our coming soon Saturday and sunday amateur sides.
