Litherland
Remyca are a community owned football club that have been established since
1959.
The
club started as St Thomas FC in the Seathforth area of Liverpool and mainly recruited
locally and from Bootle – changing their name to Bootle Church Lads Brigade and
training at the Bootle YMCA.
It
was then financed by the REM Social Club and that joint co-operation with the
YMCA created REMYCA Utd FC in 1968.
Remyca
are now based at Litherland Sports Park and still have strong community links
to local councils. They are in the process of trying to set up a Remyca Community Facility.
The
team were promoted to the NWCF Premier Division in 2018 and last season they
finished 15th out of 20.
In their
first ever appearance in the FA cup they beat AFC Liverpool 2-0 (2017) and that was their best FA Cup run - reaching the Preliminary Round.
Let’s
see what Saturday’s game against Avro FC brings (2 sleeps away).
In
other good news about the women’s game – the FA have announced that from 2nd
September 2019 all WSL games will be streamed live, via a new App that they are
launching. This service will be free of charge and it will also include
coverage of some Championship games and FA Cup games.
See
ya’ll Saturday for the opening round of the men’s FA Cup.
