GFR WEEKLY UPDATE


AWAY DAY

GALA Fairydean Rovers enter new territory this Saturday when they travel to play Kelty Hearts in a Lowland League fixture. The Fife outfit won the East of Scotland League last season after moving over from the junior ranks and have made an impressive start to life in Scotland's fifth tier. They currently sit joint top of the Lowland League table alongside last season's champions Spartans.

The match will also mark former Rangers and Scotland captain Barry Ferguson's first game in charge of Kelty. GFR will be hoping to build on their recent run of good results so an intriguing contest is in store.

A supporters bus will be running to the match departing from the Netherdale clubrooms at 11.45am. The cost of the return journey is just £6.
