We are back at Palmerston tomorrow evening as we take on Hibernian B in the second of our six group matches in the KDM Evolution Trophy.
After match day one, we sit fifth in the table thanks to our 4-0 home win over Cumbernauld Colts, while the visitors sit second bottom after they lost by the same scoreline away at Clydebank.
Looking ahead to the game, manager Nicky Clark is hoping for a similar performance to the one against Colts to boost confidence within the squad but is expecting Hibs to be a step up. “I imagine they might be quite young, but they will be well trained, they'll be well drilled, tactically they’ll be good, and they will have plenty of boys with good ability in the side. These games are a chance for young players to go and play against men’s teams so as a kid it gives them the chance to progress and see how they get on. We know it'll be another challenge for us, but again it's one that we can go and stamp our authority in and hopefully the boys will take belief from the game going into the following week.”

For safety reasons, QOS have adopted a robust and thorough search policy for spectators entering the ground to ensure that ground rules and regulations are strictly adhered to, especially in relation to pyrotechnic devices and controlled containers. We would like to remind supporters that letting off smoke devices/ pyrotechnics is a criminal offence, and anyone found doing so will be referred to Police Scotland. Not only is it against the law, it is also extremely dangerous and a health hazard to other spectators. No bottles or cans will be permitted through the gates, so anyone bring juice should bring cartons. All bags will be searched and spectators presenting themselves for entry may also be subject to search. Spectators who refuse to be searched by stewards will be denied entry to the ground.
