Arthurlie continued their preparations for the new season with two friendly matches in the space of three days.

The Barrhead team won the Kenny Hay Memorial Trophy after a penalty shootout victory over local rivals Neilston last Thursday night.

The match at the Brig O'Lea had ended in a 3-3 draw after 90 minutes, with Mark Taylor bagging a brace and Scott Anson also on target for Arthurlie.

That was followed by a 1-1 draw with East of Scotland First Division outfit Camelon Juniors on Saturday, with Taylor again finding the net as he continues to impress following his arrival from Castlemilk OBC.

Arthurlie had been due to return to action tonight (July 16) in a friendly against Glenafton Athletic at Loch Park but it was called off.

Next up is their final pre-season match this Saturday, when they host Lowland League team Caledonian Braves, with a 3pm kick-off at Dunterlie Park.
