With only a few players missing last night but due back before end of week we are looking good for restarting our build up for the new season . It has been a tough week but the club feels shutting down from last mid week reduced any chance of a major out break . Tickets are on sale through Fanbase for the three preseason friendlies coming up starting with Bathgate Thistle at 2pm on Saturday 3rd July . East Stirlingshire are opponents on Tuesday 6th July with a          7-30pm kick off and Stirling University on Saturday the 10th of July with a 2pm kick off .

Fixtures have been issued and will be on the fixture page as soon as possible .We kick off with a home game against Penicuik Athletic on the 17th of July . Then on the Tuesday the 20th  we travel to Dunbar United for a 7-30pm kick off . A trip to Rosewell to play Whitehill Welfare on Saturday the 26th of July with a 2-30pm kick off .Rounding off the early games with two home games against Tranent on Tuesday 27th of July 7.30pm kick off and Newtongrange on Saturday the 31st of July  with a 2-30pm kick off . As you can see a tasty start to the season with three top home league games . These 3 home  league games will probably push our maximum capacity allowed into grounds under the current restrictions pretty close if crowds in the past are to go by. Tickets through fanbase will be made available as soon as possible .We will keep you up dated on sales and if they will be all ticket affairs .

Willie Cormack won this week’s keydraw , winning £50 as Paula Craik who done the keydraw this week failed to pick the correct key to open the jackpot box with the £700 jackpot inside .  Next week’s draw on Sunday the 4th of July at 5pm live on the club’s facebook page will have a jackpot off £750 with only 12 keys left to pick from to open the jackpot box . We like to thank Paula for her time today and if you would like to make the draw please contact any committee member and we will arrange for it to happen . STAY SAFE EVERYBODY

It is with regret that our match at Clachnacuddin has been cancelled following our cancelation of the friendly away to Pumpherston  due to positive covid test results and following Scottish government and SFA guidance  this decision was taken reluctantly but felt it was in the best interest of the safety of the  squad, committee , supporter’s and our hosts that we did not travel . We have voluntarily told all connections to stay away from the club until next Tuesday when we hope the situation will be clearer and we can prepare for next Saturday’s game at home to Bathgate Thistle . Please stay safe this pandemic is far from over .
