YOKER kick off their pre season preparations this week at the Whitletts Victoria Festival of Football.

The Whe Ho will travel through to Dam Park on Saturday to compete in the pre season runout against Whitletss, West Calder United and East Kilbride FC.

It will provide boss John McAulay the opportunity to assess his side’s fitness levels with two matches coming in one afternoon, and the chance to run the rule over new signing Steph Reilly as he gels into the Yoker backline.

The Holm Park side begin their competitive season at home to Central District Second side Glasgow Perthshire on August 9, before welcoming Maryhill on Wednesday, August 13.
