All,
Following an epic trip (although, unfortunately not epic football) in Japan, Scotland return closer to home in a friendly in Cardiff in just under two weeks time. Preparations are nearly finalised and a healthy contingent of seven EFTA members will be travelling down by car the day before.
Elsewhere, due to the announcement of the Wales friendly, the AGM is returning to the traditional St. Andrew's weekend. The AGM will take place for the first time in Kirkcaldy at a restaurant to be decided. If you wish to attend, Mel is currently organising it. Please indicate if you can make it, along with the night(s) you can attend (Friday 27th or Saturday 28th November) and any preference of date or suggestions to Mel before Saturday 7th November.
There was a packed house at the Nellies who kindly hosted the poker last month. I (finally) claimed the first prize of £40, with Craig finishing second (£20) and Dave a respectable third (£12). With 8 players attending that night, The bonus poker pot now stands at £68. EFTA Poker takes a break over Christmas - it was intended to hold the final in December, however, we are now eyeing a date in January or February to avoid the busy Christmas period. Watch this space.
Elsewhere, playing in Fife, the Under-17s crashed out of the first qualifying round for the Euro 2011 tournament against Portugal, Georgia and Cyprus despite a decent debut for Islam Feruz. Feruz is likely to be playing in the Victory Shield match against the Auld Enemy later this month at Tynecastle. Scotland are currently in pole position to win the trophy.
Looking ahead, the Scotland A team play the Czech Republic at home in March next year and are likely to play a further two friendlies next May.
Match Tickets
All match tickets for Wales are now allocated - all SSC members who applied got tickets.
Tickets cost £20 and payment is due to the respective purchasers.
Tickets for the home friendly against the Czech Republic are likely to be on sale in January.

Scotland's last international match of the year takes place in Cardiff a week on Saturday.

The big event - the Euro 2012 qualifying draw, live from Warsaw. An all day session is inevitable. Cancel all other plans. It is currently proposed to meet in the Standing Order for the traditional draw breakfast and slowly get steaming at various locations in central Edinburgh as the high heid yins of UEFA decide what near or far flung places we end up in over the next two years.
