Grrrowl are champs but.... coach quits!!!!

Glenrothes Grrrowl secure their first league title with a 4-2 victory over the Dundee Northern Lights at Tournament 6 of the Northern Floorball League.

Immediately after the match coach Kevin Blyth announced he was quitting as coach to concentrate on his playing career. Kev will remain as team captian and the club wishes to thank him for his superb efforts this season.

Read about Kev’s decision in the updated ‘Coach’s Corner’ section. Also updated is  ‘Stats and League’ and Match Reports.

Return of the Cat

Grrrowl have completed one of the shock deals of the season by persuading club legend Alan ‘Dub’ Ross out of retirement to play between the pipes for Tournament 4 of the Northern League.

Dub is a charismatic and popular figure amongst all of the Northern Floorball community and the club is delighted to have him  back for our fixtures against Balwearie Lightning, RBS Linlithgow and Balwearie Thunder.

Ross (34) is also delighted to be back and told a club official last night, “I’ll give it 110% although I can’t promise miracles. I’ve missed the dressing room banter and the buzz of playing in a tournament. The lads are doing well this season and I’m pleased to be asked to help out. This is the only Floorball club I’ve ever wanted to play for”.

Coach Kevin Blyth was asked if he was pleased to have ‘The Cat’ back on board and responded with a quick - “aye”, before heading off to a prior engagement in Kirkcaldy with friends.

Robo to Debut in T.4!

Grrrowl  are delighted to have further added to their roster this week with the signing of ex-ice hockey star Iain Robertson.

Robo will need no introduction to the hockey fans amongst us after a distinguished senior career which saw him play for the GB National team and amass over 800 points at club level. He played for Kirkcaldy Kestrels, Fife Flyers, Ayr Raiders, Paisley Pirates and the Edinburgh Capitals. He has only recently turned his hand to Floorball but has shown enough already to suggest that he will be a major capture for Glenrothes and the League as a whole.
