A horrendous double leg break sustained by Colts left back Gavin Craig ended Albion's hopes of a cup shock at Peffermill Park. Albion rallied from being 1-0 down early in the game to storm in front after Ferguson had scored twice to put Albion deservedly in front. At 2-2 it was all too play for until in 37 minutes we had the incident that changed the game. Craig's injury, a result of a 50-50 challenge, with no blame directed at the home player, left Albion shell-shocked as they lost a third goal just before the break. With Craig lying on the Albion touchline waiting on the medics the interval was taken up with concerns about the leg-break as players found it difficult to focus on the game. The Ambulance arrived just as the second period restarted and Albion lost two quick goals to go further behind. It was effectively game over as Albion failed to gain any of the rythym that had caused problems for †he Premier 2 side in the first 40 minutes of the game. With everyone concerned for their team-mate, the second 45 minutes were a non-event from Albion's perspective.
INJURY UPDATE:-......Gavin will be operated on sometime on Monday where a series of metal pins will be inserted to mend the leg broken in two places and will result in a six day hospital stay.
