Strollers Golf Day

Our Golf Day took place on Friday 10th May at The Royal Burgess GC. The weather and course were great. Nearly 50 competitors teed it up in the warm sunshine. The winning team being from Edinburgh Autos – J McCreadie – well done lads! (See main story pic, receiving their prizes from Keith Stewart -Sec)

Our thanks go to our organiser Stevie Stuart and his helpers Keith and Tam. Thanks also to The Burgess for their hospitality, including a lovely post Golf meal. Last thanks to all those who attended and contributed to the Club’s funds.

Strollers Clinch 7th Place

The 2023/24 season is over and what a finale it was. We finished with a 2:1 win over Linlithgow Rose to leap frog them and finish in 7th place. A great achievement considering the resources of many of the teams in the league.

Due to the unprecedented rain and the cancellation of 2 games, we were asked to play 4 games in 8 days. 3 of these at Christie Gillies Park. This put the team and the pitch under a great strain.

However, Gary Jardine managed the team superbly and the lads buckled down and went on a fantastic run and won all of the games. The Committee also pulled together to ensure the pitch and hospitality were of the usual high standard. Our pitch even receiving a referee rating of 5/5!

The Clubs motto of”Together We Can Do It” could not be more appropriate!

To our supporters we hope you have enjoyed the season and look forward to seeing you again. To all our other visitors we hope you also enjoyed your time with us. If you haven’t visted yet then put us on your list for next season!

All the best
