‘Loons’ to face SPFL Newcomers
[Wednesday, 05 June 2019 14:08]
The new ‘kids’ on the block in the SPFL League 2 Cove Rangers will be the visitors to Station Park to complete Forfar Athletic’s pre-season fixture programme.
John Sheran’s outfit who defeated Berwick Rangers by a convincing aggregate score of 7-0 in the League 2 Play-Off early last month will face up to Jim Weir’s side on Tuesday 9th July, the kick-off 7.45p.m.
Cove have been fairly regular pre-season opponents over the years for the ‘Loons’, though their paths did not cross last campaign, this will obviously be their first visit to Station Park as a fellow SPFL outfit.
A reminder that the Athies two other pre-season jousts both at Station Park will be against Dunfermline Athletic on Saturday, June 29th with a 2 p.m. kick-off, while Morton will be the visitors a week later with the kick-off that afternoon at 3 p.m.
