Updated with more friendlies involving Cumbernauld, Hawick and Dalbeattie.


This year there are decided signs of (IMO) a more sane approach to the length of pre-season among the clubs... In recent years it had got out of hand with 5 6 or even 7 weeks worth of games. This time around Gala are underway early again - this coming Saturday - but don't seem to have any friendlies announced for 3 weekends after that; only 4 more begin the first Saturday in July; most begin the second Saturday in July; but even then East Stirlingshire seem to be underway the midweek following, Stirling Uni the weekend, Edinburgh Uni and Vale the midweek after that. To date the only LL club with no friendlies appears to be Edusport.

'Gaps' are as follows, probably indicating games I've not spotted. Anyone?

Sat 1 Jul ... Gala?
Sat 8 Jul ... Gala?
Sat 15 Jul ... Gala? Cumbernauld?
Sat 22 Jul ... Vale?

Added to list are Gretna v Mid Annandale (Tue 4th July) and attractive matches Vale of Leithen v Hibs XI (Wed 12th) and Gala v Rangers XI (Fri 14th).

EDIT: also Gretna v West Auckland (Tue 18th) and Vale of Leithen v Arniston Rangers (Sat 22nd).

Leaves gaps:

Sat 1 Jul ... Gala?
Sat 8 Jul ... Gala?
Sat 15 Jul ... Cumbernauld? Vale?

Thanks, I've added those LTHV and Arniston confirmations to the listing...

What was the story with the "Border Challenge Cup" v Selkirk, which Selkirk announced then seemed to get cancelled? Not being rescheduled?

Is that the 2nd leg from Saturday! 

Saturday was really just a bounce game between the 1st team with a few 20s and friends thrown in ... :)
