Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted July 11, 2018 First pre season game tonight and it's an away fixture against stiff opposition, Nairn st Ninian 7.30pm kick off at show field park. Exciting times, for the very first run out of our newly formed squad and management. with the chance to look at some of the players still not signed it promises to be an exciting match. Best of luck to all our players and kris and his coaches and of course to Nairn st ninian alsO. Isn't there another game on somewhere else tonight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
