We made a great start to the season with a.
Mike Jack was once again the goal hero with a penalty double and starts the season exactly the same as he did in the previous campaign.
To say that the supporters were a little disappointed at the award of the first spot-kick is putting it mildly and, to be fair, I think they might have had a point.
Hello once again, everyone.
Preparations are almost finalised for our first competitive game of the season in the at home to on Saturday.
As pre-seasons go, it has been one of the most enjoyable and also one of the quickest I've ever experienced.
It's hard to believe it was more than five weeks ago since I, and I'm sure many of my team-mates, got that first feeling of dread as we stepped on the running track on 15 June.

That's now the first games of pre-season been and gone and I'm sure the manager will be giving mixed reviews on the two performances from the weekend.

That's seven sessions down with one more to go before the games away to both Vale of Leithen and Gala Fairydean.
It should be a good weekend with the team staying overnight for a bit of bonding, but unfortunately I'm missing the trip due to a wedding.
