THE OPPOSITION

A five game winning run at the end of last season saw Strollers finish in seventh place with 56 points.

The close season however has seen quite a few players leave the Muirhouse side for pastures new. One time Cowden trialist Kris Amponsah joined Broomhill and scored for his new side last Saturday. Innes Lawson moved up to the SPFL joining Edinburgh City while Robbie Cole joined Kelty Hearts. Mark McConnell and Ross Young moved down the coast to Dunbar United with the later scoring at both ends in our recent pre season friendly. David Churchill joined Sauchie Juniors with Lewis Duffy moving to Bo’ness United and Harry Girwood made his debut for Tranent at Central Park last Saturday.

Keeper Freddie Owens returned to Hibs at the end of his loan but has been re-signed on a similar deal. Josh Laing also returned to The Spartans before being loaned out once more while Mo Dukuray also left Christie Gillies Park.
New players are Arran Bone from Motherwell, Brothers Marko and Luca Vatta who arrived from Airdrie and Dumbarton respectively.

Gwong-Rwad Peter from Hawick Royal Albert, Alieu Faye who returned from Edinburgh City and scored at K Park last Saturday, Alfie Smith from Hibs and Lewis Bushnell who was promoted from the under 20 side.
