Linlithgow Rose Football Club, which has achieved championship success, will receive a letter of congratulations from West Lothian Council.
Councillors unanimously agreed a motion raised by Linlithgow councillor Pauline Orr congratulating Linlithgow Rose on winning the Premier Division of the East of Scotland Football League for the 2022 to 2023 season.
In her motion the SNP councillor said: “This sealed the club’s first championship in 10 years. With just two defeats in 28 league games the Rose have shown an incredible transformation under their new manager Gordon Herd and the championship title is just reward for their hard work.”
Fellow ward councillors, Labour’s Tom Conn and Lib Dem, Sally Pattle, added their congratulations to the team.
Councillor Conn said: “I’d just like to add my congratulations to Linlithgow Rose but I think we need to congratulate the committee and others who work to support the team behind the scenes.”
