🩵 𝙂𝙊𝙊𝘿 𝙇𝙐𝘾𝙆 𝙆𝘼𝙔𝘿𝙀𝙉 💚

One of our most well-known faces has moved on to the next chapter of his life.

We recently got together to celebrate his contribution and wish him well as a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

He arrived at The Thorn as an impressionable young boy, we watched him embrace everything around the club and flourish and develop into the young man he is today.

The Thorn was good for him and he was very good for us. Over a period of five years he contributed to every aspect of Thorn life.

He learned from us, but by my goodness did we not learn from him as well.

You'll have seen him coach, sing and you're about to see him dance 🕺

Kayden is a contestant in this year's St Vincent's Hospice Strictly Come Dancing fundraiser scheduled to take place in November.

The hospice is a cause close to all our hearts and if you are able, please donate to his fundraising page below as we thank him for shining so bright for us 🤝

Give this a watch and then kid on you've been cutting onions 🌰 😪

Go and smash it Kayden 💪

It took you guys less than 24 hours to snap up all 60 places at our forthcoming October week camp - so we are maxed out!

Another fantastic response and we're looking forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks.

Defeat on the road today at Meadow Park as goals either side of the break put us to the sword.

No fewer than TEN bookings dished out by the referee as his yellow card was getting thrown about like confetti.

Thanks to Threave Rovers for their fantastic hospitality and all the best until we catch up later in the season 🤝

Onwards to next week when we host Lanark at Thorn Athletic Sports Academy 2pm kick-off.

One of the highlights of the away visits every season is a trip down to Meadow Park 🚌

It's been two weeks since our last game it'll be good to see the boys back in action on what is always a good surface 🌱
