Day to forget for Albion Senior sides

Both Albion sides exited the Logan Cup in what couuld be considered a bad day for both. The Senior Ams were unlucky to drop out at the first hurdle when a 5-3 score line severely flattered the home side. Albion, down to ten men early on, were at least worthy of an extra time finish after coming back from 2 down, but some very dubious refereeing decisions, put paid to any chances of an away win. With the local press covering this game, we await with interest their take on how this game, and the officials decisions, affected the final outcome.
There was no such controversy at Livingston where the Senior Colts were soundly beaten in a second half collapse that gave the game an 8-0 scoreline. At 3-0 down at half-time, to be honest, Albion were still actually in the game, and with some luck and an early 2nd half goal, they may have clawed their way back into the game. But a flurry of second half goals was the signal for some key players to throw in the towel!. Bizzare as it may sound when reading this, but the back four, and especially keeper Moore had a good game. It was the exceptional strength and domination of the midfield areas, where Albion found it difficult to cope, and the gulf in height and strength meant this was going to be a comfortable home win.
