St Roch's Football Club is a Scottish football club, based in Provanmill, Glasgow. Nicknamed "the Candy Rock", they were formed in 1921 and play at Provanmill Park. The team is currently managed by David Greig, assisted by Joe McCall and Patrick Parker. A revamped team for the 2009/2010 season has the club and fans in excitement with its blend of youth and experience. They currently compete in the West Region of the Scottish Junior Football Association. They wear yellow and green strips (uniforms).

St Roch's was the first club of James "Jimmy" McGrory, the British record goalscorer with 550 goals. McGrory, who grew up in the Garngad area where the club originated, began playing for them aged just 16. After helping the club win the Scottish Junior Cup in 1922, scoring in the final, he joined Celtic the following season.

After a couple of tried and failed Obscure Journeyman careers I've decided to go closer too home and try the ever growing in popularity Youth Only Challenge with St. Roche's F.C.

I will update after Pre-Season, On the Youth Candidate day and After the last league game has been played for an End of Season Review.

Onwards, to break the Old Firm!

Good luck!

I got Clyde from the third division to the SPL winners in 10 seasons I think, I hope you get similar success.

Scottish youth was never good for me though :(

Thanks Jpr, Clyde are currently 6 Divisions above us so it might take me some time to even get to their level!
