    New charity third kit launched

    New charity third kit launched

    We are proud to launch our new charitable third kit that will continue the fight against suicide as well as the positive mental health message.

    We have teamed up with the Samaritans, Breathing Space, Childline and local charity Chris’s House to launch our Darkness To Light luminous third kit, that will encourage fans who are struggling to speak up, speak out and be heard.

    Any and all profits made by Motherwell FC on the new kits will be split equally between the four charities, who provide a vital first point of contact for those who are needing to talk or are feeling suicidal.

    The special strip, launched to commemorate 25 years since the club last produced a similar coloured kit made by Pony back in 1997-98, symbolises light emerging from the dark and has each of the four helpline numbers patched onto the bottom corner of the top, as a permanent reminder if anyone is feeling low.

    In addition, the ‘speak up, speak out, be heard’ message is contained within the neck taping.

    The strip has launched in the Well Shop today (Monday 5 December), and is available now online from motherwelldirect.co.uk.

    “We wanted to come up with something that gave back to the charities who the club constantly signpost people towards,” chief executive Alan Burrows said.

    “Most of our messaging around positive mental health and suicide prevention encourages people to use theses amazing services, which are sadly getting much busier in these difficult times.

    “Our new kit will not only increase the visibility of what they do with with the helpline numbers patch, but will raise vital funds to allow these charities to continue to keep helping people who need it most in the local community.”

    Four in action on loan

    We four loan boys in action on Saturday as they continued their development. 

    Max Johnston

    Max Johnston continued his fine run of form with another 90 minutes for Cove Rangers at Balmoral Stadium against Partick Thistle.

    The full-back assisted Mitchel Megginson for the opener in the game after six minutes.

    Partick Thistle equalised at the death in dramatic fashion as the Thistle stopper Jamie Sneddon headed in to snatch a point on the road.

    Robbie Mahon

    Robbie Mahon was an unused sub for Dunfermline as they drew 1-1 with Queen of the South.

    Ewan Wilson

    Albion Rovers couldn’t make it five games unbeaten in League 2 as the Wee Rovers lost 1-0 to Forfar.

    Ewan Wilson played the full 90 in the backline but a first half Ben Armour goal was enough for Forfar to claim the win.

    Logan Dunachie

    East Kilbride were in Lowland League action against Gala Fairydean Rovers as they looked to push for top spot in the league.

    Logan Dunachie was named at the heart of the defence in what was an action packed encounter. The defender played the full 90 minutes and despite being 2-1 down at the interval, Kilby won the game 5-4 on the road and are now third in the league.

    Daniel Hunter

    Cumbernauld Colts snatched a late point against Spartans at Broadwood on Saturday.

    Daniel Hunter played the full match with Billy Mortimer scoring an equaliser with seconds to go to get Cumbernauld a 1-1 draw.

    Scottish Cup fourth round draw

    Scottish Cup fourth round draw

    We have been drawn to play Arbroath at Gayfield Park in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.

    The tie will be played on the weekend of Saturday, 21 January 2023.

    The two sides last met way back in 2000, where Motherwell needed a replay to see off The Red Lichties.

    Horrendous winds meant the first attempt at playing the game got abandoned at half-time. When it was finally played, Don Goodman opened the scoring but it was cancelled out by 40-year-old veteran Tommy Bryce. In the replay, goals from Don Goodman and Lee McCulloch saw the Steelmen eventually through to the fourth round, avoiding a banana-skin against a part-time team.

    The full-back on loan from Ipswich scoops his second player of the month award since arriving at the club in August.

    It was Penney’s touch that setup Louis Moult at Tynecastle, when the striker won the penalty against Hearts.

    Hamilton Accies 1-3 Motherwell

    Hamilton Accies 1-3 Motherwell

    It was a derby day to remember for Motherwell as they thumped Hamilton 3-1 on Sunday in SWPL. 

    First half goals from Georgie Rafferty, Kaela McDonald-Nguah and Carla Boyce was enough to secure three points for Motherwell.

    It was a close opening 20 minutes with Katie Rice having the only real chance. After being fouled on the edge of box, she then got up and took the free kick from 25 yards and skimmed the top of the bar.

    Despite few chances, Motherwell controlled all the boy and made it count on the half hour mark. Hamilton failed to clear their lines from a corner and Georgie Rafferty picked up the ball on the left edge of the box and curled an effort into the back of the net.

    It was 0-2 on 37 minutes. McDonald-Nguah managed to back heel the ball over the line from a Motherwell set piece.

    Motherwell continued their ruthlessness on 43 minutes. Boyce picking up the ball from 20 yards and swivelled and smashed an effort on the volley to make it 0-3 at half time.

    Hamilton came out the traps flying in the second half and pulled one back on 52 minutes. Tara McGonigle finishing from a cutback.

    McDonald-Nguah almost restored the three goal lead straight after. Good work from Lori Gardner driving in from the left hand side, she found the striker who seen her effort gathered by the keeper.

    The rest of the half played out with very few chances until the 80th minute, when Katie Rice fouled in the area and Accies were awared a penalty kick.

    Megan Quinn would step up but she blazed over the bar and the game finished 3-1 to the women of steel.

As well as holding a reserve fund for the club, the Well Society, as majority shareholder, have made almost £10,000 available this year to further Society objectives. This has included covering travel costs for youth teams, promoting football coaching roles for local women and helping the Walking Football team take part in European competition.

    Doug added: “We’re proud that we have been able to promote the game of football and uphold the values the club through a number of initiatives. This is only possible through the support from members’ contributions.”

    Fox returns from loan

    Fox returns from loan

    Scott Fox has returned to the club having his loan to Queen of the South cancelled by mutual consent.

    Fox made four appearances for the Doonhamers following his arrival in early September.

    A short illness meant Max Currie regained the number one spot which left the Motherwell man watching his teammates from the bench.
