Beath Hill Of Beath 0-3. Pretty good result.

Was at the game, was a good work out for both teams in pretty windy conditions. Of course, hard to draw any conclusions from a friendly and Hill of Beath did graze the woodwork a couple of times and fired a few shots high or wide, so will be food for thought for Gala.

Zander Murray back to Gala, a proven goalscorer at LL level, so a great signing for Gala.

Assume Gala benefiting from Bonnyrigg signing up Buchanan from Berwick... likely had to move someone on to make space in the squad?

Could end up being a wee rotation of moves that suits everyone.

Caledonian Braves 2 - 1 GFR

Breadner (74)
McNeil (67)

Smith (50)
 

Not the best result, but at least the club is up there fighting. Not long since people were saying GFR would end up third from bottom.

Hopefully they can stay in the league.  The Borders has already lost Selkirk, Hawick and Vale if Leithen from the lowland league.

Also feel the SFA missed a trick adding the likes of Annan to the SPFL before Gala when the Borders has no teams at that level.  Could have kicked things on for the region.

It was an SPFL decision, not an SFA one. Annan applied along with four other clubs to replace Gretna on their demise. They were chosen ahead of Cove Rangers, Spartans, Preston Athletic and Edinburgh City based on the quality of their facilities. No club from the Borders applied.

Nothing to do with SPFL either - it was a vote by SFL clubs

As has been pointed out, Gala Fairydean didn't apply then.

What happened for the 2012 vacancy?

Amazing looking at that seeing that three of those clubs actually made the SPFL
