What started as a kickabout to get people out of the house, has grown into a league-winning team 🙌
Alan Dunsmore quickly realised his pals were down after they were forced off the pitch due to covid, so between lockdowns he decided to take action and kickstart Blantyre United.
"Once the lockdown lifted we decided to start a football team. We kept it local and it was all boys we grew up with, some we hadn't seen since we were 15 or 16. Blantyre United are extremely proud of their achievements on the pitch, having just won the A&C AFL Championship Division League Cup, but Alan is even more proud of its impact on players off it.
"There's a group of us getting together for a walk and talk. So we'll meet at Strathclyde Park and go on a walk for an hour.
