JC AXES SEVEN PLAYERS AS HE PREPARES FOR CONSOLIDATION IN DIV ONE

Last updated : 01 May 2002 By Duke Of Galloway
There were no major surprises as Queens manager John Connelly released seven players as he seeks to build up his squad for Division 1. The following players have been released : George 'Boyle,AlanMoore,Stuart Davidson,Gordon Burns,Lennie Walker,Graham Armsrong and Ross Brownlie.
Stuart Davidson and Alan Moore can consider themselves perhaps unfortunate at being released. It is also sad that George O'Boyle has been shown the door but his fitness has been in question and we must look ahead. I am rather sorry that Alan Moore has  been released as his crossing has been of a high standard and he had an impressive game last Saturday but such is the strength of the first team pool at Palmerston these days that someone has to go.
The following players are still on contract Jamie Campbell,Barry Donald,Derek Anderson,Jim Thomson,John Crawford and Sean O'Connor. The remaing players have been offered terms but such is the situation in Scottish football at this time I'm sure there will be no problems.
