Camelon Juniors FC are pleased to announce that 22 year old defender Ryan Lockie has extended his contract with us, keeping him at the club until at least June 2021.
Ryan joined us on loan from Stirling Albion in August 2017, before making Camelon his permanent home in May 2019. He brings a strong and solid presence to our defence and is always looking to push the play up the field.
Thanks for sticking with the mighty Mariners Ryan!
Clubs in the East of Scotland League have been voting this week on proposals to end the season.
The result of this vote means that the EoSFL Board’s proposal has been supported by a majority of member clubs and the following will take effect immediately.
Camelon voted ‘yes’ to end the season and also yes to a further proposal that if next season starts late, a cup (for example the league cup) should be withdrawn for a season. We feel that no club should be relegated as a result of this crisis and by the same token no team should be denied promotion as league winners. It’s not a perfect solution but we believe it is fair.
This outcome means that Camelon Juniors FC finish a very creditable fifth place. Although this was a shortened season it still had many highlights including playing in the Scottish cup for the first time and recording three wins over Linlithgow Rose – the 5-1 victory is one that will never be forgotten.
The Committee would like to thank all our fans, players and sponsors for their efforts this year. On a personal note, the sight of our players out delivering food to those in need at this time is by far the thing we are most proud of, as it’s shown what Camelon Juniors and the people connected with it are all about.
Please stay safe. We look forward to welcoming you back to Carmuirs Park as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.

Club Secretary
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.
