The walking football carnival arrived at Gayfield yesterday to promote the game to the masses. Although it was a bit chilly, the sun shone and the wind remained calm.
We were up against Carnoustie again, the previous game at Gayfield had ended in scoreless draw (probably due to the postage stamp sized goals).
For this match, we were provided with seven-a-side goals, this made sure that both keepers had some work to do this time. The short game ended in a 1-1 draw, super Davie Whitton grabbing a last minute equaliser against a very good Carnoustie team. To cap a great day, Arbroath beat the visitors 3-0.
Thanks to Brian Cargill and Arbroath FC for setting it all up.Thanks also to the Carnoustie lads for a great game.

Many thanks to the Portcullis for their hospitality and great stovies last night.
Last but not least, thanks to Sye Webster, not only for leaving his double denim outfit at home, but for organising a great night out for the lads.

This Saturday sees us playing at half time at Gayfield. We will be up against a very good Carnoustie side again. Everything will be run with military precision, so be on your toes.
We are meeting at the players entrance/gate at 14.20 (that’s twenty past two for you older guys). Continue reading →

Our presentation night out has been arranged for Saturday 18th November (the same day we play at Gayfield).
It will be a sport/general knowledge/music quiz night and will be held in the portcullis at 7.30 for an 8pm start.
If you would like to enter a team with your mates’, that’s absolutely fine, the more the merrier. If you have no mates’, don’t worry, teams will be sorted out on the night. The cost will be £2 a head (money raised going toward the club funds). Prizes have yet to be announced. Rumours that Sye Webster will be buying the winning team a drink each have yet to be confirmed. Although, given that Sye is tighter than Dick Campbell’s waistcoat, it’s highly unlikely.
