About the Club
East Kilbride Rolls-Royce have been playing amateur football in the New Town since 1954. We were formed in 1954, with the team playing in the Scottish Amateur League, and a team also playing in the Glasgow Welfare League.
The club was actually an amalgamation of two teams, PSG (who were a printing subsidiary of Rolls-Royce), and EK Rolls-Royce. And it was not until 1975 when they amalgamated, did they become a stand alone club. With the 1st XI being managed by John Bones and Gordon Scullion, and the 2nd XI by Frank Stellard (who still keeps a healthy involvement to this day).
We have two teams, with the 1st XI playing in the Scottish Amateur Premier League Division, managed by Paul Millar and Gary Hay, assisted by Mark Pollock. The 2nd XI play in The Greater Glasgow Premier League Division Three (A), and are managed by Craig Young, assisted by Scott Gemmill and Big Del Watson.

EKYM Over 35s Tournament

Sunday 11 September seen the Rolly Old Boys defeated by the EKFC select 5 -2, a team containing such household names as ex Rangers Alex Rae, Ian Durrant and ex-Hibs David Farrel. The Rolly Boys put up a great fight, especially in the 2nd half with Colin Smurf Mc Murtrie turning defenders and the clock back, Gary Harvey Hay dominating in midfield and Craig Gigz Young proving that every team needs a moaning b****** . . . . WATR
Result from Tuesday 20 September . . . EKRR 0 - EKYM 6 (pressure on Manager Alex 'Let it Be' Lowe) with the last game coming up on Sunday 25 September against old foes Duncanrig. Aftermatch party in the Village Inn upstairs after 6pm.
Final game of the Tournament seen the The Rolly Old Boys draw 3-3 with local rivals Duncanrig, with Stevie Heron heading home in injury time to save the Rolly blushes and keep team manager Alex "Let it Be" Lowe in a job for a few more weeks . . watch this space
