Penicuik Athletic vs Edinburgh City

Our second friendly match of Pre-season 2020 sees us visit East of Scotland League side Penicuik Athletic.

OPPONENTS: PENICUIK ATHLETIC

East of Scotland Premier League side Penicuik Athletic have a tremendous set-up at Penicuik Park and will provide strong opposition. Finishing eight in the curtailed 2019/20 in a very difficult division, manager Tony Begg has improved his squad with signings including Nicky Reid from Spartans; they also have squad full of senior and Lowland League experience and they will be looking to kick on when competitive football re-starts in October.
