Gavin Laidlaw Chairman
gavinlymmrovers@hotmail.co.ukFor the last 12 years i have been involved with Lymm Rovers when my son started at the age of 7. Being a Lymm lad it does seem weird at times coaching kids on pitches at the High School where I used to play myself!
The ethos of our club is learning to play football in a safe and fun environment. We have worked hard to achieve our community status award from the FA.
We are the preferred partner, if you will, of the High School. The club works with them to provide coaching and leadership pathways for students. As well as this we have worked in tandem to try to improve facilities for the community.
At our core is to provide professional coaches with a minimum level 2 awards.
Our growing girls (and mums section) is something we are proud of.
When I am not helping with Club affairs you will find me fishing, playing golf or looking after patients at the local Dentist.
