Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts kicked off their preparations for the upcoming season with a friendly win over Lochore Welfare on Saturday.
The East of Scotland League, Second Division side welcomed their opponents, who play one tier above, to Dalgety Bay for their first warm-up match.

Swifts were able to give game time to a number of their summer signings, and also enjoyed a confidence building 2-0 win over their neighbours.
Talisman Finlay Shearer, so often a go-to for goals, was on the mark again for the home side, whose other goal came from Kendal Forbes.
Swifts, who have, so far, added Anthony McAndrew, Lucas Reilly, Finlay Kerr, Fynn Lawson, Ben Pollock, Dale Wotherspoon, Cameron Girvan, Dylan Harrison, and Forbes, into their ranks, host Lowland League East Cowdenbeath this Saturday.
