Ardencaple FC marked the end of yet another highly successful season by holding its annual Gala Day at Ardenconnel Park, home to partner club Rhu Amateurs.

Caple teams at various age groups had invited guest teams to come along as Helensburgh FC, Dumbarton Riverside, Dumbarton United and Milngavie FC joined the fun.

In addition to the day-long festival of football, there was a lot of entertainment on offer to everyone who attended including a bouncy castle, 'beat the goalie' penalty kicks, a tombola stand, a raffle and a BBQ serving burgers and hot-dogs.

All of the Caple 11-a-side teams will be starting back with pre-season training later this month in preparation for season 2016/17, whilst their 4, 5 & 7-a-side teams who all participate in the summer football season (from Apr-Nov) enjoy a few weeks off from weekend fixtures due to school holidays.

Players from all age-groups who are interested in keeping fit throughout the summer are welcome to attend a club training session every Monday from 6-8pm at Hermitage Academy.

Club chairman Craig Holborn and secretary Euan Birss would like to thank everyone within the Caple family - players, families, coaching staff and helpers as well as club sponsors - for all their hard work and support throughout the year and wish everyone a safe and enjoyable summer holiday.

Finally, the winning tickets in the Ardencaple FC summer raffle are due to be drawn at 2pm on Friday 15th July at Hermitage Academy. First prize is a Trump 2-Ball package, which entitles two people to a round of golf and full Scottish breakfast in the luxurious Golf House Restaurant at the magnificent Trump International Golf Links, Aberdeenshire - a truly unforgettable experience for any keen golfer.

There are also two great runners-up prizes: either a steak meal for two with wine at Cattle & Creel, Steakhouse & Seafood Bar, Helensburgh or a bottle of single malt Scotch Whisky.

Tickets are still available and can be purchased at local golf courses, various pubs and cafes in town or direct from the club - contact Craig on 07546 033598 to secure your ticket.
