been very good and with a very
hard-working committee we hope
to go on to bigger and better things.
After a couple of weeks rest we start
preparing for next season; we have a
good squad of players but will need
to get in a few more to strengthen up
for the challenge ahead.
“Youth football is a very big
part of the North End set up, we
just started an under 19s team this
season incorporating 17s, 18s and
nineteens. They won the league and
cup this season and have had one
or maybe two signing with us next
season. We also started a North End
Amateur team as we thought that
players develop at different ages
and we would not like to miss out
on someone because they have been
too old to play for our youth side.
Again another great achievement is
that the Amateur side have one their
league and also a cup. Also, last but
not least, we have connections with
Maryfield United who run teams
from four year olds to sixteen year
olds. This creates a pathway right
through to our first team with one of
their teams also winning the league
and cup double.

“We’ve sponsored the club
for three years now; one of
our members, Billy Mitchell
is involved with the club and
some of the lads play. Billy
keeps us up to date with how
they are getting on and I also
follow them on social media.
It is a good group of lads at
the club – keep up the brilliant
work you do. It is great to be
associated with a community
club that is doing so well.”

“Dundee North End are one of
the oldest teams in Dundee and
with the changes happening I would
like to think that we will become a
community club as we are well on
the road towards that. The obvious
challenge is money with all clubs
needing money to run and this will
definitely be a task in the future.
“Our plans for the coming years
are to make the club bigger and
stronger on and off the field and be
proud to be associated with Dundee
North End as well as helping to bring
on young football players to advance
to the highest level possible.”
