Girvan F.C.

Girvan Football Club is a Scottish football club based in Girvan, South Ayrshire. Nicknamed the Seasiders, they were formed in 1947 and play at Hamilton Park. They currently compete in the West of Scotland League Third Division.

Prior to the 2004–05 season, Girvan played in the South of Scotland Football League and as a full member of the Scottish Football Association, entered the Scottish Qualifying Cup each year. When the club joined the Scottish Junior Football Association in 2004, they were allowed to continue this arrangement and since Scottish Cup re-organisation in 2007, now qualify directly for the tournament every season.^[1] This situation was unique to Girvan until 2014; when fellow Junior clubs Banks O' Dee and Linlithgow Rose also achieved full SFA member status via club licensing.

On 26 June 2018, Ian Patterson became the manager at Girvan, assisted by former Craigmark assistant and fellow ex-Girvan player Greg Gallagher and John ‘Hoots’ Harvey. On 26 January 2020, Patterson was sacked as manager, with former manager Peter Leonard as caretaker manager until the end of the season.^[2]

On 29 April 2021, Girvan FC announced a new management team of Matt Maley, Robert Love, Andy McInnes & Jack Martin taking the reins from caretaker manager Peter Leonard.
