Haddington Athletic have arranged a further pre-season game away against Tynecastle Star for 1 Aug. The full schedule now looks like this:

• Sat 18 July v Whitehill Welfare at home
• Weds 22 July v Easthouses Lily at home
• Sat 25 July v Leith Athletic at home
• Weds 29 July v Lothian Thistle away
• Sat 1 Aug v Tynecastle Star away (venue TBC)

As far as the Hi His go, no far reaching changes as far as the League Cup section goes. We say farewell to Super League new boys Newtongrange Star but welcome Super League Champions Bonnyrigg Rose - ho, hum! The fixtures involving Haddington Athletic are as follows:

• Wed 5 Aug 6.45pm - Penicuik Athletic (H)
• Sat 8 Aug 2.30pm - Arniston Rangers (H)
• Wed 12 Aug 6.45pm - Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic (A)
• Sat 15 Aug - No game
• Wed 19 Aug - Musselburgh Athletic (A)
• Sat 22 Aug 2.30pm - Tranent Juniors (H)
• Mon 24 Aug 6.45pm - Dunbar United (A)

The semi finals, featuring the winners of the 4 sections, will be played on Wed 26 Aug, KO 6.45pm.

It's pretty obvious that there will be a few stern tests amongst the above games!

UPDATED - PRE-SEASON CHANGES 

Right then folks! The AGM season is over and it's time for the website to kick itself back into action following the wee break in activity.

The biggest news (so far anyway) is at the Junior level: Spartans submitted a bid to admit their second XI into the Junior grade and this bid was accepted without dissent at the recent SJFA AGM. This Spartans side will be playing in the South Division next season so the number of clubs in our particular league will stay unchanged at 14 clubs. Spartans' introduction will, obviously, have a slight effect on the arrangement of the League Cup sections and so the release of those particular fixtures, following a decision at the East Region AGM, will be slightly delayed. September's opening league fixtures have, however, been issued and they will be listed below.
