Morning everyone! Tomorrow is a massive game for the The Standard! It's the LEAFA Sunday section Super Cup against the East division league champions, Roslin.

It would be amazing to get as many people down supporting as possible! It's a 1:30pm KO at Paties Road, near Merchiston High School. There's a stand and shelter in case of bad weather and having a good crowd behind us will make a big difference!

Hopefully see you all tomorrow! MTS!!

Excellent result today against a decent side and a very important 3 points. It leaves us 4 points clear with 2 games left. Conditions were tough underfoot but we dealt with it well, usual rock solid defensive performance.
Free week next week before home and away fixtures against Bathgate to see out the league campaign.

The Standard 2 - 0 Armadale Rose

Goals: Orin Parkinson (2)
Assists: Craig Fell and John More
MOTM: Craig Magee

Wasn't the prettiest today but we dug in superbly to grind out a great result against tough opposition. Plenty of character on that pitch today and another very important win in the run in.
Magee was phenomenal today and thoroughly deserved MOTM. Won everything in the air and stamped out all they had to throw at us before it materialised into anything worthy.

3 games left in the league now boys, if we show the spirit we had today in the run in I have every faith in this bunch of lads. MTS!!

Man of the match - Craig Magee

Goals - Stuart George

Assists - Stu Rae

Unfortunately our cup run has come to end. We showed great spirit to go up 1-0 but we couldn't capitalise to go on and win. Best of luck to Fairfield for the rest of the competition. Congratulations to Craig Magee for picking up man of the match. Was solid as a rock in the first half. Let's get back to winning ways next weekend. MTS 👊
