Kev Matheson and Colin Riddle have indicated they are stepping down from running Gala Fairydean Rovers Amateurs at the end of this season due to business and family commitments.

The pair have done a tremendous job steadying the ship this season in the Border Amateur A Division after all the upheaval in the summer when many of the playing squad moved up to the Lowland League team.

That leaves a vacancy for a new manager to come in and challenge for honours as well as providing a conveyor belt of players for the first team.

A club spokesman said: “Come and join our ambitious project and become a vital cog in the club.

“Applicants must be over 18 years old, must be able to motivate players and have good communication skills.

“You must possess a good tactical and technical awareness and be willing to commit your time to help develop and push players towards the first team.” Applications should be submitted to club secretary Graeme Mciver, email address graememciver@btinternet.com or in writing to c/o Gala Fairydean Rovers FC, Nether Road, Galashiels, TD1 3HE before March 21.
