MIDNIGHT LEAGUE A GREAT SUCCESS
An evening football league for young people is proving to be a big hit with 12-18 year-olds in West Dunbartonshire.The Bank of Scotland Midnight League, which runs at St Peter the Apostle High School in Clydebank from 8-10pm every Friday, continues to attract over 70 young people each week. The programme, which allows boys and girls to participate in 5 or 7-a-side football at no cost, will run until 12th March.
Councillor Jim McElhill, the Council’s spokesperson for Environmental Services and Economic Development, said: “So far the Midnight League has exceeded expectations, with young people coming from all over the West Dunbartonshire area. We expect that the six week programme will highlight the need for this type of activity within West Dunbartonshire and provide the evidence of need for similar programmes in the future.”
Free buses to and from the venue are provided for young people on registration, with consent forms available through schools. Free water and fruit have also been provided to players by Knowes Housing Association.
The Bank of Scotland Midnight League involves the following partners:
- West Dunbartonshire Council
- Scottish Government
- Scottish Football Association
- Community Links Scotland
- Street Links
- Cashback for Communities
- Knowes Housing Association
- Coalfields Regeneration Trust
