Today marked the one year anniversary of the tragic passing of young Andrew MacKinnon. Andrew was a key member of our Salvesen Blues 07 team and is loved and missed by all of those involved. When reminiscing on times had with Andrew team captain and friend Rory Panther said “I remember a training session when a ball had gone over the fence and into a garden, Andrew was doing the most random and funny things possible to get the owners attention and get the ball back. He was so fully focused on getting the ball back that he’d completely forgot about the game going on around him!" Our thoughts and prayers are with Andrew’s family and friends during this difficult time. #Forever15

There's nothing quite like the thrill of traveling with your team, and for Salvesen CFC's 2011 teams, their football trip to Newcastle was a journey of a lifetime. Packed with excitement, camaraderie, and unforgettable experiences, this trip left an indelible mark on the young players.

The professionals were impressed by the Salvesen boys' style of play, praising their skills and dedication.

Following the inspiring training session, the team geared up for their Sunday morning match against a local football team. The spirit of friendly competition filled the air as both sides showcased their skills and sportsmanship on the field. It was a fantastic opportunity for the Salvesen boys to test their mettle against a different opponent and apply the valuable lessons learned during their training. The excitement didn't end there, the highlight of the trip awaited them: a tour of St. James' Park, an experience every football-loving youngster dreams of. Walking through the hallowed halls, standing in the players' tunnel, and setting foot on the pitch where legends have played before left the boys in awe. They soaked in the history and grandeur of the stadium, and perhaps, for a moment, imagined themselves as future football stars. As if that wasn't enough, the young footballers were in for a heartwarming surprise. They were guests of Honor at Newcastle, where they received a warm welcome and cheers from the home crowd.

As the boys returned home with hearts filled with cherished memories and newfound inspiration, they carried with them the Salvesen spirit - one that values not only the victories on the pitch but also the camaraderie and sportsmanship that define football as the beautiful game. ⚽️ #salvesencfc2011 #Salvesencfc2011blues

Salvesen 2010s 21/1/24 Salvesen embarked on a journey down the A1 to confront the formidable Longniddry Villa in today's match. Right from the kick-off, Salvesen showcased their prowess, delivering fluid football that quickly earned them a two-goal advantage. The dynamic duo of Leon Farmer struck first at the 13-minute mark, followed swiftly by Ruben Steedman's goal at 15 minutes. Despite Longniddry's response with a well-executed strike at the 23-minute mark, Salvesen maintained their offensive edge, relentlessly pressuring the host's defense and narrowly missing several scoring opportunities. The second half saw Longniddry drawing level at the 50-minute mark, intensifying the pursuit for a decisive goal from both sides. Despite Salvesen's dominance in the first half and their unfortunate encounters with the woodwork, the match concluded with a well-fought draw. Nevertheless, Salvesen can draw ample encouragement from their performance, carrying valuable momentum into next week's fixture.
