Edinburgh derby for Juniors league opener

Posted on Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Fixtures for August and September have been released for the Junior side.

The Junior season starts on August 4th with an away tie to Pumpherston in our league cup section. We then play a home game against West Calder on Saturday 7th before playing Junior Superleague giants Linlithgow Rose on Wednesday 11th at the academy. The league cup group continues with an away game vs Armadale on Saturday 14th before our group game against another Superleague team, Newtongrange Star. The match should see an early return to Ainslie Park for Adam Perry who has left the Junior side this summer.

We open our league campaign on August 21st with a game against Edinburgh United in the only Edinburgh derby match in Junior football. We then face a number of away games against Livingston Utd, West Calder and Haddington before a huge match at home against Tranent on September 25th. Tranent finished in third place last season, ending on the same points and only behind us on goal difference. We lost out to the East Lothian side twice last season by just a single goal each time and we will be looking to get more positive results during this campaign.

We have also been drawn away to North District league side Arbroath Vic in the East of Scotland cup first round and will travel to Angus on September 11th.

Season tickets will be valid for all home matches and league cup group matches. Details of all our fixtures can be found on the Junior fixture and results page.

More information on the latest Junior squad news will be available next week.
