Super Saturday for Albion Senior Sides

It was Super saturday for bouth squads as Albion's Ams sides both recorded good wins. The Ams had a tricky one at Pilrig where they hosted North Edinburgh Wanderers and the 2-1 hadly reflected the dominance Albion enjoyed in this game. A series of missed chances would have gave the home side a bigger win margin but the win is to be savoured with the important 3 points allowing the Ams to climb the table. The Colts travelled down to Meadowmill where they faced Lothian star, sitting in joint third, with the home side probably confident of 3 points, in their quest for promotion. The East Lothian venue, with its immaculate playing surface, gave both sides an opportunity to spread the passes, but the sloping pitch and strong wind, was to have a hand in the end result. Albion skipper Richie Irvine, elected to play up the slope, against the wind in the 1st period and as predicted the home side peppered the Albion goal, using the wind, but to no affect as Albion keeper Grieve and his defence coped well. It was Albion however, who created the more chances, and with two glaring opportunities missed, it was a Glasgow goal that put Albion deservedly in front on the stroke of half time. The second half, predictably, saw Albion flow forward down the slope and by the time the home side levelled in 70 Minutes, Albion should have had the game wrapped up, but for a bundle of missed opportunities. The visitors however, took a deserved lead with 6 minutes left, when Glasgow turned his marker on the edge of the area and fired home to make it 1-2
