Junior pre-season starts with Eddie Queen Tournament

Posted on Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

The Junior side start their pre-season campaign this coming weekend as they take part in the Eddie Queen tournament in Blackburn, West Lothian. We won the trophy last year, beating Civil Service Strollers on the Saturday before a hard fought victory over fellow Junior side Kirkcaldy YM saw us lift the shield.

We start our defence of the trophy against hosts Blackburn on Saturday 17th, kick of is 12.30pm. Civil Service then play Kirkcaldy YM in the later game kicking off at 3pm. The two losing sides play each other on the Sunday at 12.30 with the two winners facing each other in the final at 3pm on the Sunday.

The weather is set to clear in time to see a new look Spartan Junior side back in action. The majority of last season players have signed up again for this year with only Dale Robertson, Gary Young, Iain Cartwright and Adam Perry leaving over the summer. We are delighted that Phil McKibben has made his move perminent and there will also be a number of new signings on show, full details of these new players and the squad for next season will follow later.

Any Spartan fans looking to make the trip should contact Cameron Hobbs (07962 353 645) for information on location and travel arrangements. Entry is free on both days and we would love to see some of you there.
