A South Queensferry business is supporting Kirkliston & South Queensferry Football Club 2009 team.
The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack has supplied branded strips to KSQ’s Galaxy and Rapids teams which compete in the SERYFA (South East Region Youth Football) League.
A registered charity, KSQ FC welcomes children from ages 5 and up. Formed in 1991 to foster football within Kirkliston, South Queensferry, and the surrounding areas, the club’s main aim is to promote the benefits of football, teamwork, and community involvement. Currently with over 1,000 members, the club is supported by more than 100 volunteer coaches and a committee. Every year it starts a new age group, so there’s always a pathway for kids to get involved and progress through the club.
KSQ’s Rapids team had a fantastic season last year, winning their league title & league cup in Division 4. Over the years the 2009’s have picked up several divisional Cup wins across different teams.
Bryan Coghill, owner of the Crab & Lobster Fish Shack in South Queensferry, said: “It is our pleasure to lend our support to KSQ FC. As a new business that’s currently still bedding into the local community here in South Queensferry, we are keen to give back. So far, we’ve been welcomed with open arms, and appreciate the custom from local people as we have been establishing our new sit down fish & chip restaurant, and take away service. Denis, who is the Head Coach, contacted us, and it was our pleasure to provide branded strips. We will continue to support KSQ FC all we can in the coming months.”
Head Coach of the KSQ FC, Denis Staskewitsch, said: “We are extremely grateful to Bryan and the team at The Crab & Lobster for their support. They are one of two local South Queensferry businesses that have contributed to the costs of new strips, along with fundraising that we do ourselves at the club. Help like this is very much appreciated. The strips will be worn with pride as we continue the season.”
“The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack is a fantastic addition to South Queensferry’s dining scene,” Denis went on to say. “It’s great to see something positive come out of the old Frankie & Benny’s site, and we are particularly pleased to hear that the restaurant was named Restaurant of the Year in the recent Forth Awards. And that it’s been nominated in the National Fish & Chip Awards as one of the best new Fish & Chip Restaurants in the country. We wish them all the best for that, let’s hope they can bring another prize back to South Queensferry.
