This Sunday (7^th May) Morton in the Community‘s past and current Football Fans in Training (FFIT) participants will take to Cappielow whilst raising funds for Ardgowan Hospice.

All participants wish to thank AKC Events for providing eleven stewards for the festival and Greenock Morton FC for the use of Cappielow.

“It’s pleasing to see their good habits from FFIT are being sustained”
