Winning as simple as AC..

A NEW Midlothian football team will make its debut in the Edinburgh and District Sunday Amateur FA Shandon Snooker Hall Second Division this coming campaign.

Bonnyrigg-based AC Midlothian was founded as Jewel & Esk United in November and, although they have yet to contest any official competitive games, have already secured their first piece of silverware.

Club captain Thomas Rousseau, pictured with team-mate Amon Reynolds, lifted the Sean Collins Memorial Summer Division Trophy earlier this month after a six-team tournament hosted by fellow newcomers Bruntsfield Park AFC.

Everyone at the club wishes to thank Ricky at The Anvil pub in Bonnyrigg for donating a set of strips for the coming season.
