It’s not long until the start of the golf season and time to dust off you clubs.

We will be holding our golf day on the 9 th of May at The Royal Burgess.  Everyone enjoyed the event last year, so we are hoping for another great day

The competition will comprise teams of 4, and it will be a shotgun start. There will be a maximum handicap of 28. If you don’t have a national handicap dont worry as the organiser will allocate one.

The format is Stableford with the best 2 scores of the team counting at each hole except the 14th.

There will be prizes for the top 3 teams as well as nearest the pins at the par 3s and longest drive.

There will be a raffle and auction later.

The entry fee is £450 per team, and this includes a two course meal in the clubhouse after your round.

Please contact Stevie Stuart to reserve your place or if you have any questions. We hope to see you there.

RECENT SIGNINGS

It was a noteable win against E Stirlingshire in the League Cup on Tuesday. They were unbeaten at CG Park, apparently! However, the game was also notable as 3 of our recent signings all made an appearance.

Bayley Klimionek (left) has joined us on loan from StJohnstone and has made himself at home in the centre of our defence. A powerful player who’s not afraid to step forward, he’s proving to be a great asset for us.

Caelan McCrone (centre) joined us on loan this week from Falkirk. Fresh from a place on the bench in last Fridays Championship game against Livingston. Caelan is a young midfielder of whom there is much hope for a bright future at Falkirk.

Dean Ritchie (right) started in midfield. Dean had been with us previously after he left Hearts. He then had a spell  of playing in Australia! However,he’s back, and we hope the experience he has gained will  help the team.

Our Fund Raising Dinner on Saturday night was a great success.  We were treated to some cracking stories from Gary Locke and Darren Jackson and  superb hosting by Scott Wilson.

We’d like to thank all those who contributed auction items and raffle prizes. Also, to all that attended and kindly contributed towards our finances. Every penny makes a difference.  Thank you.

A special mention to the guys from LNER who travelled up from England to attend and their generosity for providing auction items and for supporting us this season. Thank you.

Last, our thanks go to Silverknowes GC for letting us use their function room, the Chef and his staff for providing the food, and, of course, the girls behind the bar.

We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and hope to see you soon.

It’s been an up and down season for us so far. We’ve produced a short video that includes the high points. We hope you enjoy it. Click here to watch it in our Gallery.

Everyone at the club, who knew him, is shocked by the news that Ricky Clapperton has passed away.

Ricky was both a player and a coach here at the Strollers, spanning over 40 years.He was liked and respected not only for his contribution to football but also as a person.He coached at a number of clubs in and around Edinburgh and was always held in high regard.He leaves a big gap at our club, and we know that former players will also be stunned and saddened.

Our thoughts are with his family, especially his son Scott, who also played here, and his many friends.

The draw for the quarter finals of thd Finest Car Mats South Challenge Cup has been made. The Strollers have been drawn away from home to the winners of the 5th round tie between Gretna 2008 and Hill O’ Beath Hawthorn. The game is due to be played on Saturday 1st February but is dependant on the completion of the above game.

The draw for the semi finals was also made and should we win our QF game we will again be away from home. This time we will play either Auchinleck Talbot,Glasgow United or Kirkintilloch Rob Roy. Game to be played 1st March. The full draws are shown below.

Our limited edition programme for our recent home game against Hearts B was very popular. Therefore, we’ve decided to make it available on line. Click here to view
