We speak to goalkeeper Ross Fitzsimons and the Iron Foundation's Education Manager Gav Cooper during one of Ross Fitzsimons' goalkeeping courses, which is a five-week programme.

Taking place at Bottesford Town's 3G main pitch between 5pm and 6pm, the course started on Monday, November 18th, and have now reached the conclusion with just one more week next Monday. The course sold out instantaneously.

All attendees will be invited to the Iron v Hereford on December 21st as Ross’ guests, and there will be a group photo opportunity before the game.

The goalkeeper school will give any aspiring young goalkeepers the opportunity to learn directly from the Iron's number one.

The Iron made their annual visit to the Disney Ward of Scunthorpe General Hospital on Tuesday afternoon.

Ross Fitzsimons and Will Evans, along with club mascots Scunny Bunny and Scunny Hunny Bunny, journeyed up to the hospital.

The Iron have been big supporters of the Health Tree Foundation over the years, with the squad donating funds each year following a whip round, while United also raised £3,000 during lockdown following a Call of Duty: Warzone fundraiser.

The players and accompanying staff were thanked for their generous donation of £250 by Elaine from the Health Tree Foundation. The donation will be put in the "Big Thanks Scunthorpe United Fund" which can be used by any ward or department within the hospital for a wish.

The Health Tree Foundation works in partnership with the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust. The donation will play a small part in ensuring they can provide acute hospital and community services to a population of over 400,000 people across North and North East Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire.
