Tomorrow Preview

Posted on Friday, January 22nd, 2010

At last we are back with some competitive football tomorrow for the first time in almost 6 weeks.  The Seniors big league game at the Academy against Lothian Thistle looks set to go ahead.   The ko is 2pm, the pitch is wet after the heavy rain but it is in good condition.  Danny O’Donnell and Stewart Fowlie both trained last night which means Mike and Sam will have a full squad to choose from.  We won 2 – 0 at Lothian earlier in the season but the wind was the winner that day.  In a tribute for Jim Martin we will do a minutes applause for Jim Martin before the kick off in our first competitive game since he passed away. 

The Juniors have swapped their game against Blackburn Utd to Blackburn’s ground with City Park not in ideal condition, ko is 1.45.  With two great friendly wins this week manager David Cowan has some tough selection choices.  Blackburn sit second in the table so a win for us would give us a great start to 2010.         

The Amateurs are at the Academy on the FieldTurf against Whitburn in a league game, ko 2.30pm.  We finished 2009 in great form.  Promotion isn’t yet beyond us yet but we need to keep winning.   Ronnie Napier has been banging in the goals since he came from Uni football and coach Dave Bryce will be hopeful that his squad haven’t lost too much match fitness over the enforced break.
