Our pre-season friendlies continued last night when we travelled to Castle Douglas to face Threave Rovers in the inaugural Charlie Boy Foundation Trophy match. Josh Kelly headed home the only goal of the game after the break to secure victory and bring the cup to Palmerston.

The warm-up game was the first of what will now be an annual match played in memory of Charlie Watson who was a midfielder for both clubs before losing his brave battle to cancer at the age of 20 just over a year ago. Charlie’s Mum, Amanda and step-dad Richard were on hand to present Jack Hannah with the trophy.

Half of all proceeds from the match will be given to the Foundation.
