Here we go.....pre-season fixtures commence this weekend!

Saturday 25th July sees the beginning of Leith's pre-season fixtures schedule, with the visit of Kinross RFC to Academy Park in a 2pm KO. This is the first of 6 games for the 1st XV as they prepare for this season's RBS East Division 2 campaign, with Dunbar, Kilmarnock, Forrester, Murrayfield Wanderers and Lismore all to come ahead of the big kick off on September 5.

Kinross have recently begun their own pre-season preparations, and will travel south with some familiar faces in tow. Coached by former Leith captain and head coach Tam Bennett, and with their back-line led by ex-Leith player Fraser Ross at stand-off, they will know exactly what to expect from their visit and will provide stiff opposition as they get ready for their own season in RBS Caledonia Division 2 Midlands, where they'll be looking to better their 8th placed finish in 2014/15.

We look forward to seeing you down at Academy Park for this first pre-season fixture, and thank you for the warm welcome you will extend to our visitors from Kinross.
