Next up. The start of a 3 Match home stretch as we host @StalyCelticFC this Saturday 3pm ko.

Full time 4-0 to the hosts. The result absolutely flatters the hosts but they took their chances and that’s the difference. We move on to the next. UP THE STORKS

Replacing Jack Price and Sam Unwin is Sandro Da Costa and Joe Hurst

Jeanny free header puts it wide. One of those days. We could play all day and not score here.
