2005 SQUAD

The under 13s recorded a 2-0 win over Kelso in the Lothian Buses Cup at the 3G Arena on Sunday. Scorers for the home team were Harry Fowler and James McLeod.

2004 SQUAD The under 14s progressed to the final of the David Innes Cup with a thumping 6-0 victory over Dalkeith Thistle at the 3G Arena on Sunday.
