A highly charged midweek game at Pilrig last night ended with Albion running out deserved 7-5 winners. Yes, you read right! Another double figure scoring game at PP. The U19s certainly don't do things by half. After storming into a 2 goal lead inside 12 minutes Albion typically failed to defend their critical areas and were pegged bsck to 2-1. Then a magical solo goal from Herrera gave Albion a 3-1 lead. However, just to make it more interesting, Albion contrived to let visitors Haddington Athletic back into the game with a gift of two goals in 4 minutes to leave the game all square at 3-3 at half time. Albion stormed into the second period and extended their lead with two very quick goals in a 5 minute spell at the start of the second period. The visitors, not to be outdone, pulled one back to make it 5-4, Albion duly replied with a sixth goal in the 81st minute. Game over?. No chance. Haddington were again, gifted a late-lifeline and scored a fifth goal. Phew. It was left to Herrera to wrap it up and end a nervy last five minutes to bag his hat-trick and Albions seventh to ensure the points stayed in Leith. Final Score:- Redpath Albion 7 (3) v (3) 5 Haddington Athletic.
Albion scorers:- Kirkland, Turnbull, Glasgow, Hashmat, Herrera (3)
