SPORTSassist South East Region U17s Cup Final
Saturday 31 May
Tynecastle FC 1-0 AC Oxgangs
Unfortunately, it wasn't to be for our Under 17s - however, they can be assured that everyone associated with AC Oxgangs is immensely proud of their efforts in reaching this prestigious final against one of Scotland's best youth teams at this age-group. Congratulations to Tynecastle - a first-half strike sealed the win despite a late rally from AC - oh, so close!

Former professional footballer Richard Walker MSc BSc (Hons) MHPC MCSP is an Edinburgh based physiotherapist specialising in football related treatment and advice. Previously, Richard has been head physio at several senior clubs including Shamrock Rovers & Berwick Rangers and currently holds this position at Brechin City FC. Richard explains: ”My treatment philosophy revolves around educating players, not only about their current injury, but how to avoid this problem and many other issues in the future. I then establish individual programmes for players so that they can fulfil their potential. Initiating these with young players places them on a firm footing for the rest of their playing careers.”
Based upon feedback from several AC Oxgangs players and coaches, the Club is pleased to recommend Richard’s services to all our players, coaches and committee members and in return he has offered a heavily discounted rate of only £20 per visit.
Enrich Physio is based at the Braid Hills Golf Centre

ACO London Marathon Fundraiser 2014
Carole completed the marathon in 3hrs 47mins - it was hot (she has sunburnt arms) and running in the ACO top wasn't too comfortable either - a great effort by a remarkable lady!
Our teams of enthusiastic fundraisers are still working hard and will be returning their forms and sponsorship money to our coaches in the next week or two - initial signs are that Carole has helped us raise a fantastic four figure sum for the club.
The AC Oxgangs FC Committee we'd like to thank Carole for her efforts and this sentiment is no doubt echoed by the many players who will benefit from this terrific gesture.
More information on the event can be found at
