DECEMBER 24th
David Bell has been transferred to Lesmahagow. Most people close to the Club already know we do not regard ourselves as being a selling Club. However, it is not our policy to prevent players from moving to a higher level if the opportunity arises and they wish to do so. David wanted to have another crack at the 1st Division and the terms agreed with Lesmahagow were acceptable to all parties. We enjoyed having David in the club for the last season and a half and wish him well for the future.
Daryl Docherty cleared to resume training next week.

The Cancellation of Newmains game - this was totally unexpected - when we arrived we discovered the pitch was unplayable. We were assured by a Council official earlier in the week that the pitch would be fully prepared - clearly it wasn't. There were a number of issues. The heavy rain didn't make things better and neither did the totally selfish use of the pitch by an unidentified team for training 9 no doubt unauthorised)and which had caused damage to a section of the pitch near the halfway line . we did our best to notify everyone - our apologies to anyone we missed out.
