After the postponement of our opening league fixture in September due to a late illness suffered by the appointed referee, Leith make a second journey to Netherdale this term to take on Gala YM in this rearranged fixture. The two sides have not met in league action since early 2011 and our hosts have struggled a little this term on their return to East 2 and currently sit 13th, however have managed good wins over Edinburgh University Medics and Liberton, as well as running some of the top sides close, so a tough encounter can be expected as ever down in Gala, as Leith look to end 2016 on a high.
