Albion lose to late penalty

Albion travelled down to Whitecraigs in East Lothian last night to challenge Lothian East side Musselburgh Windsor. In brilliant sunshine, perfect for football on a vast and very large park, Albion were a goal down in just 30 seconds when a speculative shot from all of 40 yards flew over Wallace to give Albion a less than auspicious start. However, Albion quickly got down to business and slowly gained momentum to make a number of chances, the best falling to Rutherford and Brown, before Aldo Marr scored his second goal in successive games to give Albion a deserved half time share of the spoils. The second period was end to end stuff with both sides enjoying good spells of possession and their fair share of chances. It was however, a clumsy clash of legs in the Albion penalty area that gave the home side an opportunity to go ahead with a disputed spot kick. With both sides using their full compliment of substitutions both squads were climbing towards match fitness. Certainly, from Albion's point, it was a step up in energy from the previous two friendlies, and Albions two games per week schedule is proving worthwhile. Result - Musselburgh Windsor 2 - 1 Redpath Albion AFC.
