Stranraer plan training camp

Stranraer have arranged a four-day pre-season tour to the North East of England.

The Blues will head to their base at Durham University on Thursday July 17 and will also meet Northern League sides Shildon and Blyth Spartans in friendly encounters.

Boss Stephen Aitken said: “It is a terrific boost to our planning for next season to have this trip booked and it is something the players can look forward to.

“It is not very often part-time sides can have the full-time experience of training camps but we are doing that this year. We are also facing competitive opposition so I am sure this trip will bring benefits all season.”
