Wednesday 30th August:
Final preparations for Martin Gunns testimonial, which takes place this Saturday the 2nd September, are taking place this week. The Academy Committee have been working along side Martins Testimonial committee in organising the event, and hopefully a big crowd will turn out for the game. Please come along if you can, and show your appreciation for Martins contribution to the club.

Academys next game in the Scottish Qualifying cup will be played on Saturday the 16th of September at the Harmsworth Park. Academy are this game away from going into the draw for the Scottish cup, so please come along and cheer the boys on. We should have been playing Brora at home that day, so this game will now be re-scheduled, date yet to be agreed.
Friday 25th August:
Graeme Reid is doubtful for tomorrows game due to a slight injury. Apart from that Peter should have a full squad available for selection. Locos are flying up for the game, as they did last year when they won 6-1. Lets hope we can reverse the score-line this time around. The winner of this game will go on to meet either Fort William or Buckie Thistle in the next round.
