THE CAPTAIN
The captain feels prepared for an
exciting and successful season...
We are all really
looking forward
to the upcoming
season, we have really
come together as a
squad over the last 6
months and look to
keep building on that.
Our preparations in
preseason have gone
well, with new signings
and returning familiar
faces settling in well.
There is a healthy
competition amongst
the squad for positions
which has increased the
intensity and focus at
training.
We are hoping after
finishing the season so
strongly that we can get
off to a positive start. It
will be a challenging
season, as everyone
is improving and
strengthening year on
year. It has always been
a highly competitive
but we will take each
game as it comes and
build week on week.
It’s great that the
first game is at home
against Hearts,
hopefully we get a good
crowd and can give
them an entertaining
game. Our previous
games against Hearts
have always been close
encounters, where we
have come out on top.
It will be a difficult
game but I think we are
more than capable of
getting the 3 points. It’s
a long season but we
have great depth in the
squad with a number of
players able to play in a
variety of positions.
I’d like to thank the
coaching staff and all
the background staff
who have worked
hard in getting the
partnership between
Edinburgh University
and Hutchison Vale
working smoothly so
that the players are just
able to concentrate
on playing football.
I’m looking forward to
getting started, and
having a successful
season with the club.
