Greenock Morton
FOOTBALL CLUB
Greenock Morton FC plays their home
games at Cappielow Park and their first
team currently competes in the Scottish
Championship. They are led by Chairman
Douglas Rae OBE who is supported by
Secretary Antonia Kerr and the club is
looking to progress under their guidance.
First Team
So far this season their first team has been in fine form, having
put together a record of thirteen wins, ten draws and seven defeats
from their thirty matches. This has left them sitting in third place
in the league with forty nine points on the board.
They will now be looking to put together a good run of results
in their remaining fixtures in order to finish the campaign on a
high. They are still in with a chance of claiming promotion and
will be determined to take that opportunity.
Funeralcare
Youth
Greenock Morton is not a club to focus solely upon senior
football however and this is reflected by the fact that they also run
a successful Youth Academy system. The Academy was set up
by two ex-players, Warren Hawke and Derek Anderson, to give
players a pathway into the first team.
It is important for any club looking to be successful over a
sustained period of time to be able to produce their own talent and
this is an area that they appear to have covered. It will certainly be
exciting to see how their youngsters are able to progress over the
coming years.
Community
This is a club that is committed to playing an important role in
the local community and this is reflected by the fact that they also
have a Community Trust set up. It is a registered charity which
aims to use the power of football to deliver a number of projects
across the Inverclyde area.
The organisation has been operational since March 2013 and
has helped to create a healthier and safer region, working closely
with partners to provide inclusive programmes that engage
people of all ages and abilities. They now have more than 5000
people engaging in their projects on an annual basis.
There is clearly much to admire about the fine set up that
Greenock Morton currently has in place and this goes beyond the
success that they are achieving on the field. If they continue in the
same manner they are sure to be able to look forward to a bright
and successful future for many years to come.
