Glen Lions FC 2009s

Call Directions

Grassroots youth football team based in Leslie, Fife.

04/11/2026

Page has been neglected a bit since the start of the season so a wee catch up post is needed.

The lads have had a tough start to the season, with the summer rebuild after losing quite a few players it was always going to take time to settle and gel as a squad.

This year being the lads last year at youth football there’s not a lot of teams left and it’s been sad to see some clubs fold who have been part of the set up for years.

Every team in the league is a strong team and tough fixture but the lads have rolled up the sleeves the last few weeks and have battled trying to improve while still trying to play some good football along the way.

A couple of heavy defeats to Hillfield Swifts and then East Fife were tough ones for the lads and everyone in the squad was in agreement the effort was not good enough.

We put in better performances against Dundee West and Kennoway but still couldn’t quite get that solidness about us to see us pick up a result.

Woodside away in the league we weren’t at the races and any time you aren’t in this leauge you are punished and 6 goals in a 20 min period killed any hope we had in the game.

Our most recent fixture seen us travel to Woodside in the Scottish cup looking for a reaction after a defeat to them the week before in the league.

A good performance seen us come away 4-1 winners. A much needed win for the lads and a deserved win.

Next up this weekend we visit AM soccer.

We have a few signing photos to come to the page over the next couple of days so keep your eyes peeled.

Thank you all for the support for the lads so far this season and here’s hoping the lads can keep working hard to improve and finish the season strong 👍⚽️💙🦁

Fair city 2-2 Glen Lions

We travelled to Perth for our league opener, we started off with a good shape about us and were dangerous on the counter. We would go 1-0 up when ando squared it to Jd who rolled it into the bottom corner. A second would follow when Connor was sent through by Ando again he finished under the goalkeeper 2-0. Then the game was ruined when our captain was sent off for a cynical foul but we organised and got in at half time 2-0.

We changed formation to get more bodies central and it was working well untill the referee awarded fair city a penalty for a tackle with no contact.

They would score and get back into the game and there equaliser would follow 5/10 minutes later a free kick from distance found its way into the net 2-2.

Fair city were knocking ball after ball over the top but we stood up and defended well and could’ve left with all 3 points but a couple of good saves from their keeper denied us.

FT 2-2

When everything was going against us we managed to roll the sleeves up and battle to come away with a point.

Coaches MOTM - a tough one with every player on the park giving everything they have but went to Marley Watson a bundle of energy uptop then shifted into midfield to help his team out but had the calmness to put his foot on the ball when the game got scrappy.

Free week for us next week before we welcome Hillfield to Quarry Park 👍⚽️
