Barry Christie, an inclusive officer for the club, said: “The sole aim in applying for this extra funding is to allow all players with Glenrothes Strollers PAN squad to be able to compete at registered SFA league outings.

“This would allow three teams to compete in respective banding, all wearing the Glenrothes Strollers strip. This gives extra incentive for players to join the club and also to increase both player and coach development.”

Fans are being urged to select their photo and ‘like’ it, with the team gaining the most likes winning the cash. The competition closes this Friday at 9am.
