Good few jambos playing for Civil tonight as well. Be good to see a big crowd there The club has always been known as the “Strollers”, I don’t know why “Civil” is being used. Originally the club was mainly if not all Civil Service staff from the various government departments in Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played a game for Civil/Strollers whatever you wish to call them in the last few seasons so can confirm they are called multiple names including Civil & Strollers. Nonetheless, hopefully a big crowd there tonight. Think it will be a close game, looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niemi’s gloves Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 3-0 ht. Much more competitive game than against Gretna despite the score. Hearts B making more use of long forward passes for players to chase, less play on the deck compared to Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined the civil service in 1976 and there were older guys in the office who played then. It was originally serving civil servants. Not sure when it opened up.

jamboinglasgow Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Last season we seemed to do well and get into a good lead, then throw it away second half.

FionaHmfc Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Good to get the win in the end but felt we were very lucky to end up with it. Civil service are a decent team but lots of our players had fairly quiet and ineffective games. Thought our best player was probably Harry Gordon in the middle or Rocco Friel at right back. Missed Luke Rathie at the back big time tonight. Think he offers such a commanding presence at the back and also talks all his teammates through the game quite effectively.

Strollers away is always one of the most difficult games in the LL season. The pitch is a real leveller. It’s a good result if we weren’t at our best.
