Scottish School Boys International Squad 2019/20

Camelon Juniors FC are proud to report that 17 year old first team defender Blair Sneddon has been selected to be part of the Scottish School Boys International Squad for 2019/20.

At a final trial match yesterday, Blair was chosen to be part of the squad of 18 boys selected from across Scotland. He is the first Camelon player to be chosen to play at this level. What an honour. Well done Blair.

Sadly, our u20s defender Grant Wotherspoon did not make the final squad. It is quite unprecedented for a club at tier six to have two players in the final trials, so he should be very proud of himself and all he has achieved so far. We’re certainly proud of him.

This is a massive occasion for Camelon that everyone connected with the club can be proud of. Proof of the strength of talent and strong pathway opportunities that we have right from the youngest academy player to the oldest first team player.

Well done lads.
