The season is about to start again…

Posted on Monday, July 5th, 2010

Our first pre-season game is coming up on Saturday and it is a cracker…Livingston are coming to the Academy for a game on the FieldTurf with a 3pm ko.  Admission is free, there will be a programme at £1.50, the new price for our programmes for this season as production costs have gone up.

Mike Irving will take the team on Saturday with messrs Lawson and Lynch on holiday.  With Omar about until September before his 9 month working spell in London this season’s squad has a familiar ring to it…only Dan Gerrard leaving and Jack Beesley and Chris Townsley joining.

Our pre-season tourney has also been confirmed.  It is on 31st July/1st August this year to give the grass pitch a full eight week rest so this has ruled out SFL opposition.  Newtongrange Star and Musselburgh Athletic from the East Junior Super league provide the opposition for our Senior and Junior teams.  The Saturday fixtures pitch our Juniors against Musselburgh at 1pm and then our Seniors against Newtongrange Star with a 3.30pm ko.   The Sunday will see a 3rd/4th place play off before the final.  Admission will be £5/£3 on both days.

We have one other friendly confirmed, a game against a Falkirk XI at the academy on Tuesday 3rd Augsut.
