HibeeJibee Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) With no fewer than 4 races going to the wire tomorrow... including 2 "head-to-head" showdowns... here's a single thread for thoughts, predictions and live updates. First Division title race Dunbar v Camelon Kennoway v Luncarty Newtongrange v Glenrothes Preston v Kinnoull First Division relegation race Burntisland v Rosyth Coldstream v Lochore Second Division relegation race Craigroyston v Hawick Lochgelly v Ormiston Third Division promotion race West Calder v Edinburgh College Edited May 26, 2023 by HibeeJibee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Good crowd here at Coldstream where it's sunny but blustery. Game began 4mins late due to clashing keepers colours I think. Lochore almost scored immediately - home stopper tipped rasping shot onto bar, parried rebound effort which everybody expected to go in, then gathered loose ball. Coldstream then reduced to 10 men for a crunching challenge in midfield. However far from being disillusioned the hosts have just gone 1-0 with a tap in after cutting through Lochore like a knife through hot butter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Scenes here at Home Park where it's now Coldstream 2-0 Lochore. Speculative effort from edge of box beats flatfooted Welfare goalie at his near post. They've then gone within inches of making it 3 as man beats offside but curls narrowly over. Rosyth leading at Burntisland means the Streamers stay up as it stands. Luncarty leading and Glethrothes already 2 down at Newtongrange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Craigroyston 2-0 Hawick puts hosts safe for now. Edinburgh College taking lead at West Calder gives students a buffer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Luncarty now 3-0 and cruising in hope of Dunbar falling behind. Glenrothes and Burntisland now both losing by 3 goals - collectively Fife are massively bottling it, on opening 30mins at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Bloody hell. Copycat of opener puts short-handed Coldstream up 3-0. Lochore bench are about to spontaneously combust. Kinnoull take lead putting them top. Ormiston land quick brace to put them safe again. College double lead. What a league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Goal back for Lochore - keeper some kind of brain freeze as lets an innocuous bobbling cross ball across face of goal for a tap in. Dunbar go behind further encouraging Kinnoull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 HT here on Tweedside is Coldstream 3-1 Lochore and we all hope the away dressing room roof is securely fastened down. Elsewhere both Glenrothes and West Calder have got themselves back to within 1 goal, as have doomed Hawick at Craigroyston, while Luncarty now 4-1 up. As it stands Kinnoull are champions... Coldstream stay up... Ormiston stay up... and Edinburgh College are promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Coldstream 3-2 Lochore now as a scooped freekick for a somewhat soft looking foul in the D goes through wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Indeed that pressure tells as an attack breaches the fragile Coldstream defence and the ball put round the keeper is bundled in on the line: now 3-3 with Lochore surviving! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Half the half left and as it stands Kinnoull are champions... Lochore are staying up... Ormiston are staying up... and Edinburgh College are promoted, it how being 2-3 at Hermand Park. League hangglider currently plotting a course to pleasant Prestonpans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Ormiston now 4 up and Craigroyston now 3-1. Looks like the afternoon boils down to whether Coldstream can score... whether Dunbar can score twice... whether West Calder can score twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Lochore goal ruled out by what looked a correct offside call. Strange equilibrium in the game - as hosts naturally tired and having to attack using nouse, their numerically superior visitors now content to counterattack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Sniff of a chance for Streamers but the Welfare goalie regathers a momentarily loose ball under his not inconsiderable torso. Panic over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Goal for Dunbar gives them hope. Seemingly is how 3-4 at Hermand. By my reckoning we've justed started stoppage time here. Both sides miss chances and outrage as ref brings a Coldstream attack back for free kick in centrecircle. Certainly big call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
