Congratulations to Corey Kirk who made his 50th appearance for the club in Saturday’s 3-1 win in Leith. Corey made his debut last season in a 3-3 draw at Whitehill Welfare and has been a consistent performer ever since.

👏 Well done Corey

Today’s Man of the Match was Blair Gallagher. Blair made some great saves, particularly in the first half when Leith tried to use the wind to fire a number of long range efforts goalwards. Unlucky not to have a clean sheet in an excellent performance.

Congratulations Blair 👏

After a goalless first half we dealt much better with the conditions and won the game during a period where we scored three times. The hosts then got a consolation but the game was wrapped up and it’s a good win on the road.

Today’s Man of the Match goes to Martin Maguire who put in an excellent performance at the back to help secure our clean sheet and continue his great form. He was superb in the air and made a fantastic goal-saving challenge to keep the scores level.

A first draw of the season where we had the lion’s share of the chances but failed to take them. In the final stages the game opened up and could have gone either way but for some resolute defending at both ends.
