Streamers line up pre-season friendlies
Coldstream have lined up four pre-season friendlies as they prepare for their first East of Scotland Football League first division campaign since 2023.
Their first is a Borders derby away to the EoSFL division two southern conference’s Vale of Leithen on Saturday, June 27 with kick-off at Victoria Park at 2.30pm.
The other three are all at home, two of them to EoSFL premier division opposition and one to Northumberland’s Stobswood Welfare.
The former two are against East Lothian’s Dunbar United on Saturday, July 4, and Midlothian’s Newtongrange Star on Saturday, July 18, both 2.30pm kick-offs at Home Park.
They sandwich a visit from the English outfit on Saturday, July 11, with kick-off time to be confirmed.
Manager David Brown’s Streamers last played Vale during the 2024-25 division two season, losing 3-2 at home a year ago in February but winning 2-0 on the road in Innerleithen the September prior.
Their most recent meeting with Dunbar’s seniors yielded a 2-1 home friendly defeat in July 2023, though they did beat their under-20s 5-2 a year later, also a warm-up at home.
They’ve not met Star since a 4-0 King Cup second-round knockout on the road in February 2024.
Stobswood are relative strangers, last having provided opposition for the Borderers for a pre-season friendly back in June 2013, losing 6-0.
