Darryl Armstrong, team coach, writes: Beith Juniors U10s were up for the very special fundraising challenging of climbing to the top of Ben Nevis on June 19 and it proved to be an outstanding success with the Beith team colours on display at over 3,000’. The boys would like to thank everyone who sponsored them. It was a great day out and the budding footballers really excelled themselves to reach the top of Britain’s highest mountain in a very fast time of 3hrs 30 mins. If only the parents who had come along for the walk had found it as easy. They took 5 hours to reach the top, and clearly were not nearly as fit as the young Beithians.

The boys managed to raise a whopping £1864.00, a commendable sum of money for club funds. They pass on their thanks to everyone who supported them on this memorable mountain climb on a wonderful day, with amazing views. Hopefully the experience will help them climb up the league next season! The fit footballing youngsters who made the epic climb were: William Ferguson, Jack Craig, Bradley Armstrong, Ross Mackenzie, Kieron Auld, Graeme Crawford, Jamie Hogg, Lewis Steele, Adam Graham, Callum Warnock, Cameron Miller, Matthew Sloan, Matthew Maclean and Ryan Brown. Congratulations to the boys on a wonderful achievement.
