Tuesday 26th Oct

  • Rose Reilly Cup – Location – St Roch’s Secondary School. 10.35 – 3pm. The girls football team will take part in the tournament and have the chance to meet Scotland’s first ever female professional footballer, who will present the trophy to the winning team. Rose was banned from playing football in Scotland by the SFA as she had previously not been allowed to play because she was female, and then spoke out criticising the lack of support that female players received. She went on to move to Italy, twice winning the Serie A Golden Boot during seasons 1978 and 1981, scoring 43 and 45 goals respectively (including Italian Cup). In the 1978–79 season she won championship titles in both Italy and France, playing for Lecce on a Saturday night and then flying to France to play for Reims on Sunday afternoons. In 1984, she won the equivalent of the World Cup with Italy.
