MATCH ABANDONED This evening’s U20s match against Edinburgh University was abandoned around the 70th minute after a University player suffered a dislocated knee.

Having won the ball at an Armadale corner, he drove 50 yards up the park, beat three players and released Carson to finish. His defensive contribution was just as valuable, wit

It was a composed and confident first start at this level and another great example of the pathway working, with three 2009s involved in the squad. Credit to Mikey and Stuart for the work they have been doing with the group and helping prepare the players for the step
