Lower profile role for Montrose FC stalwart Anne

Montrose FC said a partial goodbye to a Links Park stalwart recently when Anne Kenny ended her day to day involvement with the club after many years.

Anne helped on many fronts, having been involved in organising pitch hires, running the club shop, an active member of the fundraising committee, undertaking a child protection role, overseeing matchday hospitality staff, holding the club bar licence, providing buffets and organising many a private function.

With changing work commitments and having recently become a granny, however, something had to give, and everyone at Montrose FC will miss her constant presence.

Chairman John Crawford said, “Anne has been incredibly dedicated to the Mo for a number of years now, carrying out a power of work. In fact, I don’t know where she got the time or indeed the energy from sometimes.

“Thankfully, she is to continue as our Child Welfare and Protection Officer, a very important position within the club, and we are truly indebted to her for this. Everyone at Montrose FC is very appreciative and grateful for all Anne’s hard work and efforts, and we wish her well in her new work role and hope she gets to spent lots more time being a doting g ranny.”
