"But the short term aim is to really get the team reestablished and play our games week in week out and be competitive in those games."

Paul Doig, Head of Community Football at the Foundation, said: "I am delighted to assist Raith Rovers Ladies to be back up and running, and get more women in the Kirkcaldy area playing football."
