This time 3-0 down at HT against Edinburgh South Reds the players with the help if the slope at Aberlady and a 2nd half hat-trick from Harvey turned it into a 5-3 win.    Well done or everyone who played today.

Our U13's host Edinburgh South Reds tomorrow in the Scottish Cup.  Kick off 11am. Come along to Aberlady and give both teams your  support.

This morning Gullane Athletic AFC played host to Whitburn FCA in the South East Region cup. A bright sunny day with the visitors playing some excellent football and deservedly striding into a 4-1 lead at HT. With a couple of changes and Robbie finding his shooting boots Gullane fought back to firstly draw level and then with JJ scoring the winner the team somehow won a game that looked all over at HT. A real credit to all the players. (Coaches note - meet time for games needs to be an hour earlier to give players a chance to wake up!). Thats a couple of wins on the bounce so well done to all.   Also congratulations to squad players Izzy, Ella and Shona for their involvement with Hearts Ladies…

Gullane Athletic U13's had an away trip today to play the return fixture against Peebles.  This was the teams 4th league fixture of the season and the 3rd away from "home". After a couple of heavy defeats it was heartening to see the team continue to put into a game situation what they have been practicing. A strong away support gave plenty of encouragement and although the result was a narrow 2-1 defeat all the players should be happy with how they played. Next match is on Thursday 1st Sept versus Longniddry Villa colts kick off 6.30 at Aberlady.

21 years after a team last representing Gullane Athletic AFC played a competitive match the current crop of U13 players managed to do what their predecessors failed to do and that was to beat a team from Peebles. Back then the Gullane team had to beat Peebles to gain promotion in the Lothian Amatuer league but failed to do so with a 4 -0 defeat.  Today, 21 years later that wrong was righted when after a really enjoyable game of football Gullane run out winners 4-3.  Both teams have to be commended for their attitude and importantly skill levels. Next fixture is away to Redhall FC on Sunday 21st August.

The next step in the clubs development gets under way this coming Sunday (14th Aug) as Gullane Athletic U13's start their 11 a side league campaign in the South East Region Youth FA's Lothian Buses Division 2 Section A with a "home" match v Peebles FC. The club has now been going for 9 years and slowly building the membership year on year with c. 85 young boys and girls from age 5 playing small sided developmental football games. Now the U13's start playing competitive matches and it's the 1st team in over 20 years to represent the village as Gullane Athletic AFC. A team that in the past has played Saturday Amatuer football and even gone on to compete in national finals.  The current committee are committed to continue…

A massive well down to all our age groups who played this weekend. From the 2008 who started on their 5 a side footballing journey this weekend through to the 07's, 06's, 05's and the 04's. I am sure if anyone took the opportunity to go along to Memorial Park on a bright sunny Saturday morning they would have been impressed by all the age groups playing. Grassroots football flourishes in Gullane which is all down to the coaches involved and the  parental volunteers so well done to all.  If you are interested in your child playing or indeed getting involved yourself please just get in touch.  The club is very much community oriented and no matter your viewpoint on the proposed developments coming to Gullane, the football club, hockey…
