Cumbernauld Colts Football Club is a football team from Cumbernauld, Scotland which was formed in 1969.
The senior team competed in the Caledonian Amateur Football League with the club eventually entering the Lowland Football League in 2015.[1]
History
[edit]Colts were formed in 1969, and had success as a youth football club in the 70s and 80s, helping develop young footballers such as future Scotland internationals Derek Whyte, Jackie McNamara and Dougie Bell.[2]
The club had a period of decline in the '90s, due to several of its teams disbanding. It was re-branded in 1999, and built its way back up.
In 2015, the club was awarded full membership of the Scottish FA and was elected to the SLFL.[3]
We are a Community Football Club in the North Lanarkshire town of Cumbernauld. Based at Broadwood Stadium, we offer grassroots football pathways for people of all ages and abilities to get involved and develop their skills. Our aim is to help increase the wellbeing of the local community.
The community club serves as a potential pathway to senior men’s and women’s teams who play in the Scottish Lowland Football League (SLFL) and Scottish Women’s Football League (SWFL) respectively. Our Football Academy has team football and coaching programmes for under-6s and above.
