Gretna 2008 hoping to get game with Welfare on

Jan 25 2013 by Andrew McNair, Dumfries & Galloway Standard

Gretna’s fixture concerns failed to ease on Saturday after their tie with Spartans was called off due to bad weather.

This weekend they are again scheduled to play at Raydale – this time in a cup fixture with Whitehill Welfare.

The Image Printers Cup tie will be another difficult challenge for boss Kenny Brown’s new look Gretna side.

The visitors sit third in the East of Scotland Premier League and ten points from their four games in hand would see them leapfrog Spartans at the top of the table.

Meanwhile Gretna 2008 remain ninth after their call off last weekend - having just played six league games all season.

Saturday’s match kicks off at 2pm.
