- New Assistant Manager Confirmed
after making at least 3 appearances off the bench for the rhymers last season as well as famously costing them the 3points that could have taken them up in 3rd place
after an administration error. It is hoped however that the 38 year olds background as a referee will be most beneficial to the club after last seasons various acts of
indiscipline. Aidan had this to say about his appointment, " Aye its a dream come true for me to take up this position, I've always enjoyed being right behind Rob!"
When asked what type of football the new regime are likely to play he replied " We will be playing sexy football, In fact it is an orgy of football, the other team know
they are going to get it but they don't know when or where from" Very good!
- Work Commences On Upgrading Changing Rooms
installed to give the players every possible advantage in the quest for C Division glory. It is with regret however that due to size restraints the proposed bar and function
room had to be scrapped and so the players will still drink in the White Swan. Below are the photo's of the new look club rooms;

- Rhymer's Defeat Yetholm In Season Opener

- Border Telegraph Division C Pre-view
Gala United and Yethlom as their favourites for promotion from Division C this year and have also hinted at a successful season for the newly formed Linton Hotspur
despite no one having ever seen them play! Earlston Rhymers received no mention in the article and so do not appear to be considered promotion contenders by the
experienced sports reporters (and the boy wi the ginger hair that plays for Gala United) at the paper. Manager Robert Gourdie will be hoping that by writing them off the
paper will have given the players all the motivation needed to mount a challenge for promotion. To view the article click here
- Pre-Season Goes Well
Division A had to offer should stand the team in good stead ahead of the new season, defeats to hawick and jedburgh however will be best forgotten! The Rhymer's
started with a game against Hawick Waverley away and were soundly beaten 6-1 by the division B champions, this shambolic performance will be put down to lack of match
sharpness and the fact that a number of first team regulars were unavailable. Rhymer's bounced back with a good performance in a narrow defeat away to Greenlaw.
Earlston had been controlling the match and leading 3-2 before a raft of substitutions unsettled the team and two late goals meant a 4-3 defeat. Pre-season continued with
an away trip to the San Siro to meet Gala Rovers, another battling performance saw Rhymers leave with a 2-2 draw, despite being outplayed at times the team showed
good work rate and solid defending aswell as some silky football of their own to earn the draw. Yet another away trip this time to Gordon seen The Rhymers again at times
play some nice football and they thoroughly deserved a 1-1 draw. Another disappointing performance this time away to Jedburgh was again due to various players missing
out and would see the Rhymers suffer a 5-3 defeat. Pre-season was completed with the visit of Leithan Rovers to Runciman Park and despite going down 3-1 the team
more than held their own against the former South Cup winners giving them plenty of problems. Manager Robert Gourdie had this to say of his sides pre-season efforts
"Overall the boys performed very well in pre-season, with the obvious exception of the results at Hawick and Jed we more than held our own against teams of supposedley
higher quality. I was pleased with some of the football we played particularly against Liethen Rovers and I also thought the way in which we defended when under pressure
at times was admirable. Not only the performances in games but the dedication shown in training throughout the build up will no doubt stand us in good stead for the
season". To view photos of the game against Leithen Rovers click here!

promotion last season in third place had three points not have been docked for a similar incident involving the signing of Aidan Hume. Rumour has it certain squad players
may have to be let go to cover the costs of the fine. One player said he was "devastated" and that he felt that all the hard work on the pitch counted for "nothing".

- Gourdie Resigns After Night Out Scandal!!!
however Gourdie's assistant, Aidan Hume is expected to take temporary charge. Speculation as to why Gourdie has resigned has been rife with many believing that after
arriving home at 6am from a team night out all his privileges were removed by his wife. Others believe that the stress and pressures of managing a C division phenomenon
have been to much to handle resulting in a reported breakdown. What ever the reasons we at Earlston Rhymers would like to thank Robert for his telling contribution to the
team over the last two years.
- Final Insult!!!
Gibson header and dominating the early going the rhymers bottled it and even a late Stevie Gillan goal couldn't inspire them and they deservedly went home with nothing.
Worryingly it was also reported that Sid and Gibby were spotted at an under 18's disco in Galashiels later that night, both refused to comment.

season long loan. As well as players going out there have been a few new players coming in, all for big money (£3) transfer fees. Johnny Jones and Ewan Robertson have
signed from Gala United, Ritchie Rich (real name) has signed from Gala Fairydean and Daniel Barbour has signed from Next Menswear. Aidan said " Since taking over I
have been working hard to sign players of real quality to strengthen the squad, I soon found out there were none available so this lot will do!"
