O'Reilly blossoms at Rose
The big striker has played SFL football since leaving school, having had spells with Clyde, Montrose, East Fife and, more recently, Stenhousemuir.
He joined Bonnyrigg Rose a few weeks back and has delighted manager Alan Miller with his performances, grabbing a double as the Super League champions catapulted themselves up the table with a 3-2 win over Newtongrange last Saturday.

"I'm from Bonnyrigg so it's easy training-wise etc. I always wanted to come back and play for Bonnyrigg."
O'Reilly sealed the victory over Newtongrange with a superb late striker and is confident Bonnyrigg can now stay in the Super League.
"The space was there and I decided to have a go," he said of his goal. "If you don't shoot, you can't score. It was a great win for us and hopefully we can kick on from here. I think we've been needing a change in fortune as we've not been playing that badly."
