Congratulations to Ollie Wilson, who has been selected for the Scotland U16 Development Squad. Which is quite impressive at the age of 11 and three quarters!

A couple of days ago, we placed the order for the new pitch. The contract was awarded to Ecosse Sports Ltd, of Newbridge, Edinburgh.
The playing surface will be manufactured by TigerTurf, and is similar to the ones at Dollar and the High School of Dundee. The playing surface will be dark green, with run-off areas in blue. Ecosse will also replace the shockpad - the underlay underneath the playing surface.
We have also engaged International Sports Turf Engineering Consultants of Buxton, Derbyshire to advise us during the installation.
