🚨 Some personal jobs news 🚨

After a brilliant two and a half years at the Alloa Advertiser, I will be leaving in a couple of weeks to become the new content editor at the Border Telegraph and the Peeblesshire News.

Will miss Alloa a lot but looking forward to getting started!

Huge news

There were rumours of O’Donnell going to St Mirren and Partick - massive result for Alloa retaining his services after such a positive season at left back. Will be interesting to see what this season looks like for him

FT - History made! Alloa Athletic Women lift the Regional Plate after a 4-0 win over Penicuik. A strike from Amy Cully and a hat trick by Bailey Black sealed a historic first cup win for the Wasps. A tremendous way to sign off Allan Milne's time at Alloa
