Kit supplier lets club down

The recent order placed by the club for 60 Leisure jackets has encountered some serious problems. The Italian supplier was the first time we've used the company, and after many weeks, of uncertainty, they admitted that they could not fufill the order. After a cheque refund it was back to our regular kit provider, Pendle Sportswear, who will now provide the quantity required. The tracksuit jackets are now on order, and once delivered , then shipped to our club embroiderer, the jackets will be issued to squads in time for the first game of the New Year.
Apologies to all for the delay.

Colts Injury list mounts

An unpecedented number of serious injuries is affecting the new Albion Colts squad. The loss of Gavin Craig to a double leg fracture back in September seems to have cast a dark shadow over the squad as news of another leg break for Shaun "Eggy" Forsyth. This unfortunate accident was the result of slipping on ice. Then, within the last week, Darren Smith sustained a cruciate ligament injury while training. To cap it all, Big Andy Brown will undergo surgery next week for a long standing knee problem that will keep him out for a sustained period. The loss of four key men, all regular starters, will severly stretch the Colts squad in the coming weeks. The extended Xmas break will hopefully allow the management team to rush some new signings through for the start of 2012.

New addition to the Redpath Clan

Warmest conratulations from everyone associated with the club go to Senior Ams manager Geoff and his wife Emma who welcomed the arrival of a baby boy last week. Young Bradan Cowan already has his name down for a fitting of next seasons new Redpath kit.

Club festivities in full swing

Both Ams squads enjoyed their Christmas get-togethers on Saturday 10 December. The Seniors plumped for a fancy dress night and with the Colts joining in the fun the Redpath Lounge at the Strathie Bar was packed to the rafters. Big thanks to bar owners Martin and Rosemary and manager Willie for the welcome. Big hand to Mary for the lovely buffet which went down well.
Its the turn of the Juniors on Tuesday 13 December when the U8/U9 and U10s will round off their usual coaching session with a party at Pilrig School

Squads left idle as weather takes its toll.

The last two weekends have left both Ams squads and our U10s inactive due to the bad weather. Firstly rain, then last weekends snowfall, left all Edinburgh and Lothian parks unplayable.

Its been a while!!!!

Apologies for the infrequency of any blog updates. We experienced some difficulties with server problems. It seems to be a regular occurence and given the Blogs popularity, we'll be considering a shift elsewhere, if issues don't improve.
