Lot of work on the ground with new disabled toilets, new showers to be installed and we continue fundraise for floodlights.

First aim for the season is to stay clear of relegation zone as will be a tough league and looking forward to see how the new signings get on. Be great to have football back and hopefully our support will come out and get right behind the team.

The best of luck with floodlighting, it's real difficult one to finance.

We've managed to secure funding from various sources, fans, sponsors, draws and others. Work is progressing well at Beechwood at the moment, although there's still a lot to do before we're up and running. Car park lights are being erected this morning, and the stand lighting was completed week before last. Think the first games under lights at those grounds that get them will be very special affairs.

Another new signing Marc Wardrope 20 year old midfielder / right back from Bonnyton. Son of one of our best keepers Michael Wardrope who won many league titles and cups at Meadow during his time with us. Michael and Gareth Turner also helped rebuild our team from scratch after our relegation to Super First with players who all gave 110%.
