You will have a couple of new grounds to visit this season in the North and the Grill league cup gives a perfect opportunity to tick of these grounds early on. How many North grounds have you still to visit?.

We're going to Cove Rangers v Stirling Albion. It's £200 for a trial to get into the away end so we'll support the home side

Didn't some clubs play prior to this last year , seeem to recall it being mentioned on here?

[PtB]

Hope they were suitably punished.

I believe the correct term is a mixed training session and you wear your training gear and play 3 x 30 minutes.

Reading there in the Inverness Courier that five of our first team regulars have left, Ross Thomson, Stevie Sanderson, Graeme Stewart, Stuart Thomson and Gary Farquhar.

Ross Thomson has joined Nairn County, Stevie Sanderson and Graeme Stewart are taking a break from football, Stuart Thomson has returned to the North Caledonian League.

Sad to see these lads move on, but wish them all the best for the future. I think Ross and Stevie will be hard to replace especially

So a bit of a rebuild for this season. New players that could be coming in Andrew Fraser (ex Clach), Chris Finnigan (ex ICT and Nairn Co), also two Welfare League players Charlie Fonweban and Iain Hughes. Gaffer Stevie Graham will also be playing more trailists over the next few weeks and using the Grill League cup to get the squad prepared for the season ahead.
