The club are delighted to announce the signing of exciting midfielder Lewis Main.
Manager Lewis Turner had this to say:
“We’re delighted to welcome Lewis to the club this week from Falkirk FC. Maino has really impressed in training — he’s an exciting young midfielder with bags of energy, excellent ability on the ball, and he’s not afraid to get stuck in.
We’re really looking forward to seeing him settle into the side, and hopefully he can hit the ground running on Saturday.”
The club are delighted to announce the signing of Ben Nelson on loan from Falkirk Football Club .
The manager has had this to say on Bens arrival
we have got Ben in on loan this week from Falkirk FC. Ben is a big strong left sided centre half with a wand of a left foot. I have watched Ben a couple of times now and he will add real quality to the back line especially with the recent injury problems we have had in his position. It’s a great opportunity for him here at the club and hopefully can show the supporters what he can do over the course of the rest of the season.
We would like to thank Falkirk for the help in getting this deal done.
The club are delighted to announce the loan signing of Gavin McGregor from Falkirk Football Club .
The manager has had this to say on Gavin.
Gavin also coming in on loan from Falkirk FC this week has really impressed in training for us and in recent games for Falkirk youth. Gav can play across the back line but predominantly right back. He has got bags of energy, can run all day and has real composure on the ball. A great bit of business for the club and will add some tough competition between the boys which can only be a positive. I’d like to thank Falkirk FC for their co-operation in getting the lads in the door. A real boost to the squad as we look we look to finish the season as strongly as possible.

The 100 Club is an easy way of helping the club. You only need to provide details once, then you can forget about it.
All we are asking is that you commit to a regular payment of at least £5 per month. That's just £1.25 per week, less than the cost of a pie at the game or a drink in the club.
We prefer payment to be made by standing order which allows the committee to concentrate on other tasks, but we will accept cash payment if you prefer.
All 100 Club members are entered into a monthly draw for a cash prize, the amount being dependant on the monthly income - as membership increases, so does the prize money.
If you would like to join, please get in touch. Link to the contact form is below.
The draw for the second round of this season's league cup has been made.
Fauldhouse United v Whitburn
To be played on Saturday 21st March
(after clicking the link, you will need to request access to view this video)
Following Whitburn's 7th place finish last season, we will again play in the East of Scotland Premier Division, which is the top league in the East of Scotland Football Association, and tier 6 of the Scottish Football pyramid system.
This league promises to be even more competitive than it was last season.
Whitburn Junior Football Club have launched a Gofundme page to raise funds to make the necessary park improvements to obtain our SFA license and to apply for that license.
Having gained promotion from the lower leagues in each of the past three years, we aim to raise £10,000 using crowdfunding. Without this licence we will not be able to gain further promotions or participate in the Scottish Cup.
The team is part of Whitburn Community Sports Club with over 250 footballers covering all ages from under 6s to seniors. The club also hosts charity football matches and local Civic Week sporting events, as well as other non -sporting events.
The club is ambitious, and plans to upgrade the facilities at our home ground, Central Park, to be able to compete at a higher level in the near future. The Community Club and others would also benefit from improvements.
£10,000 will cover the cost of the licence application and the initial ground improvements needed to meet the licence criteria. Anything raised above this will go towards further ground improvements.
If you decide to donate, thanks for joining our team and helping us on our journey.
Please note:
When you make a donation via Gofundme, a “tip” is automatically added to the amount you donate. This tip goes to the Gofundme platform. If you do not wish to pay this tip, use the slider to change the amount to 0, or whatever value you wish.
Gofundme take a small percentage from every donation to cover administration costs. This means the Football Club will not receive the full amount you donate. If you want to make sure the full amount goes to the club, you can make a direct bank transfer to the club instead of using Gofundme. If you choose to do this, please state "crowdfunder" as the reference.
