So you actually want to know something about me? Why? Are you bored? Oh well. Just to satisfy your idle curiosity and my manic egotism I’ll tell you something about me!!! I am a 44-year-old guy, who lives in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire England. I was born in Lancashire, England, during September 1979. Most people don’t believe me that I was born in England due to my strong Scottish accent. My star sign is Libra. I am 5’9” tall, 30″ waist, with blonde hair, which is sometimes short, sometimes long. I have light brown eyes. Which most people think are very sexy. I just don’t see it, myself.

Killearn still top of the table

No games were played on Drymen Show Saturday and when the league programme resumed on Tuesday Killearn, Balfron and Gartocharn all returned handsome wins.

ABERFOYLE were the latest to test the champions at KILLEARN on Tuesday. They led for much of the first half but their defence could not match the sharpness of the Killearn attack.
