The conditions at Saughton Enclosure for Fernieside Amateur’s last game of the campaign were horrendous, with gale force wind and rain preventing them and Edinburgh Rose from serving up a memorable game to close the season.

As a grieving Gilmerton public comes to terms with the loss of local lad Alex Scougall, the young man’s father has spoken to the Echo about his “likeable, happy-go-lucky son”.

Gilmerton Community Centre has two very good quality bowling mats 45 inches x 6 feet plus a double mat handling unit (cost £2000.00 will accept £800 ono).

Fernieside Park is getting a new changing pavilion as part of the Council's plans to improve communial sports facilities in the city.  The existing building will be demolished when the new pavilion is complete.
