Largs Thistle U19s are gearing up for the new season with a number of friendlies, starting this Sunday.

It is the second season for Thistle after they finished a creditable fifth in the Paisley, Johnstone and District League division three, last season.

And with the current crop of players, some of whom featured in a recent Largs friendly against St Mirren U20s - Jack Traynor, Caleb Reid and Jack Rafferty - already catching the eye, there is plenty to look forward to this season.

Thistle U19s kick off on Sunday at home to a British Army select, 2pm kick-off at Barrfields, before facing a local derby on Tuesday against Largs Thistle Amateurs, 7pm kick-off.

On Sunday 7 August, Thistle U19s host Knightswood at Barrfields Park, Largs, and then play their final friendly fixture at home to Port Glasgow on Wednesday 10 August.
