Thistle Girls Football Club, now Inverness Caledonian Thistle Girls FC, were back in business at Bught Park last Sunday after recent threat to the club's future
A 145-strong girls’ football club is back in business after a threat to its future.
Trophy-winning Thistle Girls, credited for a boom in young female participation in the sport in and around Inverness since 2017, has formally moved lock, stock and barrel under Caley Thistle’s guidance with training for younger years rebooting last Sunday.
As these pictures show, there was plenty of joy, energy, exertion and skill on show as girls from the age of six upwards returned to training sessions under their hard-working coaches after a short lay-off.
The new ICTWFC elite under-14s and under-16s teams are now launching into their debut seasons in the Aberdeenshire leagues where they will also cross swords with their old Highlands and Islands League foes Ross County and Moray.
The under-16s side beat Shetland 1-0 in the North League Cup on Saturday as curtain-raiser to their new campaign.
