Week three of training pushes the players hard
|
| Mark Cowan and Dougie Hope in training |
Three weeks into training the players have been pushed hard to attain full
fitness after the layoff. Training has seen them put through their paces at Penicuik Park, including double sessions on Saturdays
and twice they have had demanding physical runs at Arthur's Seat. Hopefully this will get them fit for Saturday's game against
Hearts.

Preparations for the new season begin
It only seems like yesterday that the season finished, but
the new season and all it’s preparations are already upon us. Training starts on the 5th July, but new manager
Stuart (Snowy) McKean has been busy since early June assessing his squad, seeking out, interviewing and signing new players.
He is still in the process of signing one more player, but feels he has the squad with which he wants to start the new season.
Stuart and the players all got together on Tuesday 24th June when he laid out his strategy and plans for the coming
season. Full details of the new signings will be published shortly on the website.
The new season kicks off with a friendly against Heart of
Midlothian on Saturday 19th July at Penicuik Park. The Andy Kelly Memorial Trophy follows this when we play three
