central scottish afl colville park afc history
Originally established in the Lanarkshire AFA in 1968 as Colvilles AFC but subsequently rebranded in 1970 to Colville Park AFC. Colville Park AFC remained members of the LAFA for some 20 years going on to win several domestic honours with that Association. The major achievement of that era was winning the Scottish Amateur Cup in season 1975/6.
In season 1990/91, Colville Park moved to the Central Scottish AFL, and are now well- established in the Premier Division of that League. Several domestic honours have been achieved, including the Cinema Cup, McAvoy McIntyre Trophy, League Cup, First Division Championship and Premier Division Championship. At National level, in the West of Scotland Amateur Cup, Colville Park were beaten finalists in 2009/10 and in 2011/12 losing out to Harestanes and Dumbarton Academy respectively. In 2013 Colville Park eventually won the trophy defeating Hurlford Thistle 2 – 0 in a closely-contested final at New Douglas Park, Hamilton. Colville Park returned to the same venue to contest the 2015 Final but again lost out 1 – 2 to Central Scottish afl rivals Greenock HSFP.
In the Scottish Amateur Cup Colville Park have an excellent track record having reached the semi-final stage 7 times in the last 8 seasons, and contesting 3 consecutive finals in 2012/13/14, unfortunately losing out on all three occasions. It was a relief to finally achieve success last season when the competition returned to its rightful “home” at Hampden where Colville Park defeated Leven United 2 – 1 in an exciting and very competitive match. That success brought an added bonus of entry to this season’s William Hill sponsored Scottish Cup where Colville Park defeated Edusport FC in the first preliminary round but were narrowly defeated 0 – 1 by Girvan Juniors in the next round.
Colville Park’s management structure changed last season with Michael Kennedy taking over the managerial reins from the experienced campaigner Gerry Hamilton, although Gerry is still involved in the background and carries out a number of vital roles in the club.
Michael has a wealth of experience as a player and former Internationalist, and he has been ably-supported by Stephen Boyack whose senior experience and coaching abilities have added greatly to the strength of the new management team. Strong backroom support is also provided by Scott Duncan, Willie Hutton, Barry Phinn, Stephen Fleming (Physio), Glen Carroll (Physio), Andy Williamson (Secretary), Joe Walker (Treasurer), John Fallon, Reg Brown, Ricky Peebles, Craig Speirs & Maxie Weymss.
Colville Park AFC would also like to thank Craig Speirs and everyone at the Electric Bar in their help and assistance over the last few months.

Southside afc players southside afc history
Southside FC are Glasgow and where formed in 2014 by Chairman Stephen Gibson. The club all came about after a bet between Stephen from his cousin, that he could not get a team to beat his team, as ever he accepted and the club was formed and he won his bet.
The club started life in the Strathclyde Saturday Morning League and in our first season managed to win the league and Presidents Cup. The second season wasn’t as successful for the club with players becoming disillusioned with Saturday morning football and felt they needed to move to afternoon football to help compete in the national competitions. The decision was made to join the Central Scottish AFL and did so at the start of this season.
To help with the progress of the club Stephen brought in a full new back room, with Manger Robert Paterson, Coach Colin Hamilton taking charge of team affairs and new secretary Craig Burton helping Stephen behind the scenes.
This season has seen the club lose narrowly to Possil in the first Cup Final within CSAFL and after going a tremendous unbeaten run going down narrowly in the West Cup Final. The club are still in good a position to gain promotion to the premier, needing only 1 point from remaining two league fixtures. We as a young club are learning fast and look forward to the big occasion at Hampden Park.
