Centenary Home Strip Unveiled

Camelon Juniors FC are pleased to announce the launch of our new home strip for season 2020/21 with details of how you can get hold of one for yourself.

The limited edition home strip celebrates the Clubs centenary year. Amongst the changes is a move to the more traditional badge, which also marks the 25th Anniversary of the Clubs finest hour, with a single star to mark the Scottish Juniors Cup win in 1995. The top also features the iconic Mariners boat so that nobody can be in any doubt that ‘Camelon Mariners are we’.

The stylish top has been manufactured and designed for the occasion by world leading sports brand Kappa. The Club also wishes to thank our retail partner, RJM Sports Ltd, for enabling the creation of the new shirt, in particular owner and former Camelon player Robert Marshall.

The shirt can be pre-ordered from the Clubs website, in store at our retail partners RJM, or by contacting the committee. Adult sizes are £40, kids £34.

A percentage of each sale will be donated to our charity partner Maggies Forth Valley who are a tremendous locally based organisation. Stocks will be limited so don’t miss out on this one-off piece of Camelon Juniors history.

New Main Sponsor Announced

Camelon Juniors FC are delighted to announce that Express Taxis will be the clubs main sponsor for next season. Their logo will be proudly displayed on the front of the home and away shirts in our centenary season.

Club Secretary Tony Smith commented “We’re delighted to announce this new exciting partnership and are really grateful to Express Taxis for their support. This is really massive for the club in the current times that we’ve been able to partner with such a well known local business that shares our community values.”

Andrew Buchanan, Manager of Express Taxis, said “It is with great pleasure that Express Taxis can announce that we are now the main sponsors of Camelon Juniors Football Club. Covid-19 has presented an unprecedented and unforeseen challenge to our business, but when the opportunity came along to be able to sponsor a club that has done so much good work for the local community, it seemed like a perfect match for us to get involved. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our fantastic drivers that have continued to work at this time and of course all our loyal customers that have stood by us. We hope it won’t be too long until we can all enjoy getting back out to support our local teams.”

Camelon Juniors announce new Charity Partner

Camelon Juniors are delighted to announce that our official Charity Partner will be Maggie’s Forth Valley.  The partnership will see Maggie’s take pride of place on the back of our strips for what is a very special season for the club, as we mark our centenary year together with it being 25 years since our famous Scottish Junior Cup win.

The club will be donating a percentage from sales of this season’s replica shirts to help raise funds for the centre along with other fundraising activities during the season.

Tony Smith, CJFC Club Secretary, commented “I don’t think there is anyone at the club who hasn’t been inspired by Cammy (Cameron Shanks) with the journey he’s been on and the fantastic fund raising he’s done for the Centre. It’s really opened our eyes to the work that Maggie’s do and the difference it makes.  As a club we want to help raise further awareness of Maggie’s and do what we can to help raise valuable funds for them.”

Speaking for Maggies, Cristina Pouso, Centre Fundraising Manager Forth Valley said “We are delighted and proud that Camelon Juniors have chosen Maggie’s Forth Valley as their charity partner.  We wish the team all the best for the next season.  This partnership will help us raise the money needed to provide our free programme of support to anyone affected by cancer especially through this difficult time.  We have moved our support online to adapt to the current situation, but our centres are now open as people need us more than ever.  Partnerships like this help us raise the funds we need but also to raise awareness that we are here with you when you need us.”

You support us – now it’s our turn

Club statement

As you may know, 1920 was the year that Camelon Juniors Football Club, as we know it, was founded. As a committee, we had grand plans to celebrate it and hopefully we will still be able to do these down the line.

However, in the midst of a global pandemic we’ve found a new way to mark the occasion. Many of our players, coaches, volunteers and staff are now helping to distribute food to the most vulnerable in our community, in partnership with the Camelon Community Hub. We are also going to be helping to look after the children of front line staff over the Easter break by delivering sporting activities at the local hub school with Falkirk Community Trust.

Our community has stood with us for 100 years and now we stand with them. I can’t think of a more fitting way to celebrate our club centenary than this.

Taking this one step further, the committee have decided that NHS staff will receive free entry to all our games next season. Simply show your ID badge, come in and be part of our family. It’s just a small thank you from us to you.

Stay safe – stay home.
