CUMNOCK Juniors have released a list of pre-season fixtures - as they step up preparations for their upcoming campaign.

Stephen Swift's men will begin their efforts on Tuesday, July 1, after accepting a match request at short notice.

The Nock will travel to face Lowland League outfit Linlithgow Rose with kick off at 7.45pm in what will be their first game of pre-season.

All others matches in the lead up to the regular season are set to take place at Townhead Park and include a mini-tournament.

First up is a match against WoSFL Second Division side Lesmahagow on Saturday, July 5, with kick off at 2pm.

Thereafter, the club will host the Townhead Tournament on Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13.

This will feature fellow East Ayrshire outfit, and Third Division side, Lugar Boswell Thistle.

Also entering from the WoSFL Ayrshire contingent will be newly promoted First Division team Whitletts Victoria.

Completing the tournament line-up will be Scoutable United - a side who aim to break down barriers in Scottish football by providing a platform for skilful players and coaches from ethnic minorities to thrive in the game.

The club was founded in 2019 to showcase the best unsigned talent in Glasgow.

The exact format of the two-day tournament has not been confirmed at this stage.

Rounding off the pre-season schedule, Cumnock will welcome East of Scotland Premier Division side Dundonald Bluebell on Saturday, July 19.

Each match will provide a chance for fans to get a first look at the club's new summer signings.

Adam Forde, Alex McCaw and Grant Gallagher have all joined Stephen Swift's side - at the time of writing.
