Brogan and Cody: Two Sisters From Fernhill
2 long term attendees of MTGP from Fernhill area of Rutherglen have shown such aptitude to being coached by MTGP that they signed professional contracts with the leading Women’s Football Club in Scotland, Glasgow City Ladies.
Brogan and Cody’s family had attempted to find a club to provide coaching for the girls but had failed to do so prior to attending at MTGP.
The coaches quickly identified that both sisters had the necessary skills and aptitude to be a success in football and were happy to provide intensive coaching programs aimed at developing their football skills when Brogan and Cody attended at MTGP.
Brogan and Cody have attended at MTGP since MTGP’s very first week of activity in 2008. Their aunt is seen on the first MTGP DVD, stating that MTGP was the only activity that the girls and her elder son wanted to attend. They enjoyed their time with MTGP so much, that she would contact MTGP to see what areas they were targeting when MTGP was not in their area. She could then attend at those locations with Brogan, Cody and her son.
