A recently formed girls’ football club has scored in a fantastic round of funding thanks to players of the lottery.
Shotts Bon Accord Girls, the first girls’ team in the North Lanarkshire town, has been awarded more than £7600 from the National Lottery Community Fund and Councillor Margaret Hughes attended a recent training session to hand over the cheque.
Coach, Denise Dickson, said: “We applied for funding to help us get started up and the money will be used for kits, equipment and lets and pitch fees.
