Today we have a quick look at the four GCFA clubs recently promoted to the GCFA Premier League — recognising the hard work and commitment behind their success as they step up to the next level.

As Premier League clubs continue their preparations for the start of the 2025/26 season, We runs the rule over the promoted clubs and highlights the players who could have a big impact in the new season.

TORYGLEN THISTLE

Thistle made this happen by winning the Boca Championship and beating some top teams in the process.

The mastermind behind this success was head coach Kieran Scott, who introduced a direct, attacking style to the champions in waiting during the second half of the season.

While making the jump from the Championship to the elite is rarely easy, this approach should serve Toryglen well in the Premier League.

They’ve been handed a tough opening schedule, too, including a home game against reigning Premier League champions Corinthians.

The young striker was instrumental for Scott & Graham last season, often causing chaos in the defensive lineups of many Championship teams.

Rocco was the clubs own Players player of the year which is a massive personal award for any player at any level of the game.As Premier League clubs continue their preparations for the start of the 2025/26 season, We runs the rule over the promoted clubs and highlights the players who could have a big impact in the new season.

Danny Graham (GK)

Upon joining the club at the start of Toryglen’s debut season in the GCFA, Grahamadded a new dimension to Toryglen’s defensive set up.

The shot stopper was the Man Of The Match for his club in their Jim Harvey Cup Win against Rossvale Huntershill not to mention making numerous quality saves throughout the clubs Boca Championship campaign.

The high quality keeper proved last season that he could be one of the best keepers within the whole GCFA set up never mind just the Boca Championship.
