It was a 9am start on the 19^th February for an excited group of kids as they boarded their bus to Motherwell. The 2002 group had their first big away day when they were invited to a festival of football at the impressive £32 million Ravenscraig Sports Complex in Motherwell, along with several other Clubs from all over Scotland.

The facilities were wonderful for the tournament that included an amazing 3G artificial pitch. The tournament was played on a “round robin” basis and some fantastic football was played by all Clubs. Much to the delight of the coaches the boys were awarded the “Fair Play” trophy. This was well deserved as the manner in which they conducted themselves all day was a credit to Burntisland Shipyard AFC and themselves. By 5pm when the bus arrived home it was full of very happy and tired boys. The group have also received another invitation to participate in an exhibition match at New Bayview, the home of East Fife FC. This is part of the S.F.A. Player Pathway and will take place on Sunday 22^nd May 2011.

The 2002’s season at Pitreavie is well under way and so far they have a 100% record. It is not just the results that are pleasing but also the development that they are showing.
