Thrills and Spills at Pilrig

A double header at Pilrig yesterday and it was a tension packed day. In a dour spectacle, the U19s came within 14 SECONDS of winning all 3 points. A McPhail goal had broken the deadlock to put Albion 1-0 in front with 12 minutes left to play, but the euphoria was short lived as opponents Cramond BC grabbed an equaliser with only seconds on the clock. A 1-1 and a share of the points was probably a fair reflection of the game, as both sides, looking rusty through lack of recent action, really failed to get going. Match No2 at Pilrig saw the Seniors kick off at the later time of 3pm as they played host to high flying league contenders Scottish Widows. If the Ams had any doubts about resurrecting their title intentions they were quickly re-energised as they produced an emphatic performance to win 3-0. Albion now climb into the top four with this result, and can now push ahead with a late rally for promotion.
