Project Leith Links:

The club have now attended 2 meetings to show the East of Scotland committee are proposals short, mid and long term. The EOS reps came down to the links to check the existing facilities and our plans to upgrade. We have had loads of messages of support from most of the league teams in both EOS divisions. We are now waiting to hear back after a report will be presented to the league for the Clubs and the Committee to decide if we are successful with our proposal to play at the Links. If not we will continue to play at the Civil Service Sports ground who have looked after us for many seasons.
