Our next home match is Civil Service Strollers v Broomhill FC.
Competition: Lowland League
Venue: Christie Gillies Park, 25 Marine Drive, Edinburgh, EH4 5EJ
Peterhead earned their place in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup after an incident packed 90 minutes in north Edinburgh as they overcame a gritty Civil Service Strollers side.
The game got underway and the young Strollers started fast out the traps. With three corners for the hosts within the first ten minutes it was looking like the Civil had Peterhead on the ropes. Unfortunially the home side’s hopes of causing an upset were dashed on the half hour mark when Joao Balde received a red card for a reckless challenge, reducing the strollers to ten men. Peterhead now had a player advantage and were thrown a lifeline just before half time when referee Chris Graham pointed to the spot with keeper Mac Whyte saving the penalty, keeping the score line at 0-0 and giving the hosts a boost for the second half.
The second half got underway and another penalty was awarded in the 55th minute after the Strollers keeper had upended McLean, was converted by the Peterhead striker McLean and Brown atoned for his miss by firing home to make it 2-0 shortly afterwards. The young strollers left everything they had on the pitch and thought until the final whistle, but when substitute Lyall Cameron made it 3-0 at the death with a close range effort, there was no way back no for the home team.
This weekend we face Broomhill In a Home Lowland League Fixture. Kick off 3pm at Christie Gillie Park.

It was job done for The Strollers yesterday at Palmerston Park against South of Scotland side Threave Rovers. After a change in stadium and a long coach journey, the players got onto the pitch and started the game very quickly.
With a few regular names out, it was a chance for the fringe players to step up and impress gaffer Jardine ahead of next weeks Scottish Cup clash with Peterhead. With two first half goals from Bob Cole & Matty Shaw saw the strollers got into the half time break with a lead.
The second half saw a few yellow cards for Threave players and management team along with many shouts for free kicks and penalties. With a set in of complacency the strollers conceded a sloppy goal to make it 2-1 and give the home team a little energy. It was not all over as the Threave defence could not control Balde and tripped him in their own box resulting in the referee pointing to the spot. Stepping up to the mark was the man that was fouled and he calmly slotted it home to make it 3-1.
Thanks to Threave for their hospitality and thank you to the supporters who travelled to watch the strollers.

Dalbeattie Star arrived at Christie Gillies Park not having won a match at The Strollers home ground whether it be in the league or a cup since 2016. After a hurting defeat to Bonnyrigg last weekend, Civil were eager to correct that against star.
A day that saw howling winds, rain and a one goal win for Dalbeattie to go away with the monkey off their back.
The game saw some great football played from the young Strollers side and it was a day to be keeping the ball on the ground and play passing football that is for sure. From kick off the wind played havoc to balls that were cleared and with the wind going against the strollers sensible heads had to be put on.
It only took until the 10th minute when a clearance from The Strollers saw it come back with the wind for Dan Orsi to knock the ball past keeper Mac Whyte to give Star the lead and get their tails up.
A second half performance from The Strollers saw them coming close to scoring on many occasions, a claim for a penalty and a dominating second half performance, but it was just one of these days and the game ended 0-1 to Dalbeattie. We head to Alliance Park this Tuesday 9th November to face Caledonian Braves – 19:45 kick off.
