Yesterday’s win wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of the Community Club’s President and Secretary, Angela Campbell and Chris Boyle, in sweeping snow & frost from a troublesome part of the Purdie Worldwide Community Stadium pitch. Brilliant guys 🖤🤍

As hoped, the Purdie Worldwide Community Stadium pitch has passed its 11:30am inspection and this afternoon’s 4th v 2nd league clash is on. Support your local team!!

🧵[1/2]

There will be a precautionary pitch inspection at 11.30am ahead of today’s match against Thornton Hibs.

A small section of the surface remains frozen, but with temperatures expected to rise we’re hopeful it will clear in time. A further update will follow after the inspection.

There were a number of contenders for today’s Man of the Match but it goes to Chris Hunter for a second match in a row. He was excellent once again at right-back with a commanding performance in the air and on the deck.

Well done Chris 👏🏻

After a slow start it was an excellent comeback win. A worldie from Meikle after McClung’s cutback was followed with Meikle turning provider for Jones to seal all 3pts. A big win as we draw level with the two sides above us.
