SATURDAY'S MATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Sadly Gabriel Zumpe, nearing a 4th anniversary filming home games, was unavoidably absent from a memorable Millfield derby encounter where we ran out 3-2 winners against Dunbar; fortunately his Seasiders counterpart was there!

TODAY'S MATCH

At Millfield this afternoon the Lothians' easternmost clubs contest our 219th derby - honours were even in 2025/26 with two wins apiece. It'd be great to bounce back from last week's setbacks with a positive result today.

RESULT

Preston Athletic 2 (0)

Bit of a sore one as we suffer our first competitive defeat in Prestonpans in many years. Have to hand it to Preston matchwinner Given Ndlovu for two exceptional finishes of near identical execution inside five minutes.
