Saturday brought the first 2 league fixtures in what is likely to prove a difficult season for us. In the 1st division you get caught out if you have weaknesses and mine is going to be an aging squad.

Consequently We have traded out our best MF Levitt to James @ RR for some TPs, a 1/10MF who will see full training, and a couple of journeymen, one of whom will be traded for an apprentice and the other who may be traded but likely will play to help ELs elsewhere. We can't win the division, and likely neither a Cup so will take the opportunity to train up some younger lads for next season.

First off we hosted Inverness, were outshot and suffered a 3-1 loss. Good start!! Then we travelled to Fife and faced East Fife. It was a dour game throughout and likely to end in a 0-0 draw till defender Kennedy slipped through with 7 minutes left and score a valuable winner. Got to sympathise with Paul who find themselves at the foot - ther only team without a point. That'll change soon.

We face Celtic in the CECIL Cup today and next midweek and have league games at home to ARB and away at DUU, so just might take over from EF by Saturday evening.
