Gala Faiydean Rovers v Livingston
Wednesday 4th September


Gala Faiydean Rovers take a break from the rigours of Lowland League Football this Wednesday evening (September 4th) to welcome Livingston FC from the SPFL in a friendly match at Netherdale.

The Lion’s have promised to send a strong squad containing many first team players in what is sure to be a stiff test for Steven Noble’s young Gala side.

Steven said;

"Tonight we face Livingston’s first team in what will be an exciting night for the Gala Fairydean Rovers FC players, committee and supporters. We hope that we can give a good account of ourselves against such strong opposition. It is a chance for us to give the whole squad a good run out and provides us with a great fitness exercise. We also hope it will give our younger players an opportunity to see how players and teams at the higher levels conduct themselves and play the game. It will be a tremendous learning experience all round."

Fresh from securing their fist away point of the season at Stirling, the Fairydean Rovers will be looking to give a run out to new signing Nicholas Rogers from Peebles as well as giving the prolific trio of Sean Paliczka, Jamie Gibson and Stuart Noble an opportunity to test the Livingston defence.

Also on show will be Galashiels youngster David Bonnar who is currently at Netherdale on loan from Livingston. Steven Noble said;

“We are grateful to Livingston for allowing us to secure David Bonnar on a season long loan. David has been a fantastic acquisition for our squad and although he’s not long turned 17, I’m convinced he will go far as a professional footballer. His work ethic, energy, desire and not forgetting his footballing ability will take him far and he has done a fantastic job for us in every game he has played.”


Entry to the game is £5 for adults with accompanying children (under 16) being admitted for free and £2 for concessions.

Kick off is 7.30 pm and a special edition souvenir programme will be on sale at the club priced at £2.

ENDS

we might head down to this.

Gala Fairydean Rovers - 0 Livingston - 4 Midges - 1,000,000

A good workout for the boys.

Yeah, a tidy and professional performance from the squad.

O'Brien, Scougall and Jacobs all looked fit and O'Brien especially looked really composed and relaxed on the ball.

After the break there were a number of substitutions and a lot of the young(er) lads got a run out.

I realise that Gala play at a much lower standard but they put in a really good shift too and despite the backs to the wall way the game panned out they did try to get forward whenever they could. probably had their best chance after about 85 minutes when a long ball was chased down to the edge of the box where their lad tried a fast lob over the keeper but landed just over the bar.

Nice relaxed atmosphere at the ground too. Good to be at a match where the (admittedly small band of) Livi fans were supporting the team as opposed to putting the verbal boot in.

Moaning when we lose. Moaning when we win. Moaning we've got injuries. Moaning when we bring players in to cover injuries.

Honestly struggle to understand why the guys on the board bother really.
