The league has decided that parks that have no chance of being playable on the Saturday , clubs may on this occasion due to heavy rain fall in the area postpone matches on Friday afternoon to allow any possible change of fixture . We have in fact put in place a provisional fixture of Musselburgh Athletic v Broxburn Athletic in the McBookie Superleague with a 1-45pm kick off should our game at Camelon and Musselburgh Ath’s match at Fauldhouse are postponed . This should be made clear by mid afternoon Friday the 8th of January . any decision will be posted on our media pages ie Facebook, twitter and our website .
