Stuart Holmes, commercial director, Gretna FC 2008, added: “Gretna Football Club has undergone a huge phase of growth with over 200 kids playing in a youth section for boys and girls. There is also an over 35’s team, walking football and the senior side is competing in the hugely competitive Scottish Lowland League.

“The club has also been working very closely with Raydale Community Sport and as a result the town can be proud of one of the best 3G sports arenas in the area. Raydale Community Sports Hub is used by dozens of local groups each week, bringing thousands of people through its doors.”
