Shipyard v Fair City
After the disappointment of our first match of the season being postponed due to the heavy rain, conditions look a lot more promising for the match on Tuesday night. Recreation Park is playable at the moment and if there is no more heavy rain there should be no problem with the fixture going ahead.
The Shipyard gained their first pre-season win against Hearts of Beath at North End Park, running out comfortable 5 – 1 winners. Four unanswered first half goals sealed the win, with the second half being more even as a whole host of changes were made. A fine strike from James Whyte opened the scoring in the [...]

Friendly ends all square
The Shipyard kicked off their pre-season with a 2 – 2 draw against FC Kelty at Recreation Park.

Two first half goals from Mark Hamilton and Mark Brough had the Shipyard leading comfortably and always looking [...]
The Shipyard suffered a heavy defeat and a footballing lesson from a stronger than anticipated Hearts team that featured 5 players with SPL experience.
