GMB Moray is a union which defends and improves the interests of people working in the public services and essential industries throughout the community of Moray.
Lorna Young, Committee Member of Moray Girls FC commented, “This is a fantastic achievement for the club and Moray as a whole to have not only created a new ladies football team this year to complete the club’s player pathway, but also to gain the support of a UNISON that is the second largest union in the UK, which I am sure many of the ladies belong to through their work. The club are greatly appreciative to GMB Moray for all the support they have shown and hope to continue working with them to provide football opportunities to all girls and women in the Moray area”

Second Moray Girls U13s Team?
Moray Girls FC are looking to start up another U13s girl’s football team. This would give more players the opportunity to compete in the North Region Girls Football League (NRGFL) at the U13 age group and give the club a better 'pool' of players when they move up to the U15’s age group, therefore preventing the situation that the 15’s had recently experienced with lack of players. In order for this to be successful, we need the 'backing' from everyone at the club. As a result, we propose to hold a meeting for players and parents on Monday 20th April at 6.30pm in the Lido Cafe. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the future of the U13s squad and to establish if people can assist the new U13s team. This may be making sandwiches, photography, a small match report for the local paper, help with transport, a bit of coaching, putting up goals, or team co-ordinator. The more people we can get to help the team the more successful the team will be on and off the pitch.
If you have any queries or would like to help any of the teams at Moray Girls please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!!
