On The Hunt of Silver

The 19's return this Sunday and they're on the trail of Silverware.

As the season stutters back into life, the 19's first competitive task of the new year is to overcome Clyde in the Scottish Youth Cup at Somerset Park this coming Sunday 23rd January.

The match, which was cancelled from earlier this month due to the cold weather and frozen Somerset surface, will see the team one step closer to the final, if they win of course.

All the players have been keeping busy since returning after the holiday period with the team having played a couple of friendlies to get their match sharpness back and come 1pm on Sunday, they will be raring to go and get stuck back into competitive football again.
