Everyone at the club is deeply shocked at the sudden passing this morning of our physio Terry Waters. He joined the club from
@GlencairnFC
in the summer of 2010 where he had been physio for 15 years. Our immediate thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family.
We are all deeply shocked at the sudden passing of our Match Secretary Derek Crozier, our sincere condolences go out to Margaret and the rest of the family at this very difficult time.
A word from the manager
@Stevo_McNeil
as he calls time on a playing career which saw him win 4 Sectional League Cups, 3 League titles, and 2 Central League Cups.
Today's results mean that we have clinched at least a top 4 spot and have won promotion to the Super Premier Division for next season. 2 wins from our last 5 games will see us clinch the title regardless of how other results go.
Devastating news from St. Roch's on the passing of former Peasy co-manager Paul Kelly. Our condolences are with Carroll and the rest of the Kelly family.
Prior to kick off today there will be a minute's applause to mark the passing of our former co-manager Paul Kelly.
Our thoughts remain with Carroll, Kevin and Caitlin and the rest of his family and friends.
Thanks to the gaffer
@Stevo_McNeil
for sponsoring tonight's man of the match award. No surprise that
@ThomasS33027331
picked up the award, not just for his 3 goals, but a terrific all round performance leading the line.
After a meeting at Petershill Park today we are pleased to announce that Martin Lauchlan has agreed to take on the post of manager. Martin played with Petershill and also managed Rossvale when they played at Petershill Park, so he knows the place well.
We are delighted to welcome Ross McCabe back to Petershill for a 3rd time as he looks to add to the 255 appearances he has made in his previous two spells at the Peasy.
He is straight in to the squad for tomorrow night's match at Troon.
There will be a minute's silence prior to today's match against

Welcome to the Peasy.
A few people asked who the minute's silence before last night's match was for.
It was held as a mark of respect to Girvan player Robbie Meiklem who sadly took his own life last week.
Please read the post below. Our thoughts are with Robbie's family and friends at this time.

Commiserations to

Fortunately our photographer managed to catch

@StRochsJuniors
😂
What about a striker you say? We have not one but two. First up is Del Hepburn, a player with plenty of top flight experience with Vale of Clyde, Pollok and Clydebank on his CV. He joins us from Beith on the expiry of his current contract.
Congratulations to
@Stevo_McNeil
who recently made his 100th appearance for Petershill. He was presented with some isotonic Smirnoff to help him mark the occasion by President Peter Sutherland.
Our next new striker has a habit of scoring at Petershill Park, a habit we obviously hope he continues. Ross McPherson joins us after a second spell at Clydebank, with Queen's Park, Irvine Meadow, Beith, Pollok and Darvel in between those spells.
