What a chock-a-block month it's been on the grassroots football front! Of course, we've kept you abreast of everything here at Club Website.

We brought you the latest news from the Scottish FA in Scotland United, the pilot episode for a new monthly round-up from north of the border, plus there was news from Sport England of the creation of 165 new sports pitches as a result of £2.4m of National Lottery funding.
