HibeeJibee Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Might not last but with 11% played 2 Borders clubs in promotion places. Must be a long time since you could say that in any division after opening week; possibly Peebles + Duns certain weeks in spring 2015, but have been rare since 1990s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Pumpherston 1 Stoneyburn 1 Reasonably healthy attendance in for this West Lothian Derby... and most of the entertainment came from the disgruntled Stoneyburn fans. Especially 2nd half. Game that mostly lacked in quality, but managed a few sporadic good pieces of play from both sides. Stoneyburn had the lead from a fairly soft penalty. Pumpherston equalised in 2nd half with Stoneyburn trying to sit back and hold on for the win. So much potential for Pumpherston if they can engage with the community in all those new houses around them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgh1909 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Lochgelly Albert 1 Newburgh 1 Very good crowd on a nice evening at Purvis Park. 'Burgh were pleasing in showing them as much better than their current position suggests. A well-earned point in a game I feel they perhaps shaded ends Lochgelly's 100% start to the season (although puts them top on goal difference) and Burgh have their first point of the season. Lochgelly took the lead in the 51st minute through a soft looking penalty. Burgh keeper Joe Russell saved the penalty well, but the loose ball fell to Scott Russell (no relation) to knock home rebound. Sharp equalised with a brilliant free kick six minutes later and the visitors looked the most likely to find a winner. On the whole, happy with the point and a much better performance.

The ground's soft. Why don't you put off games in the summer when they're rock hard?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlogtastic Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Round up + todays match report from todays game I attended with a good friend. Campbeltown pupils 0-5 Linton. Pumpherston 4-0 stoneyburn ormiston 1-4 Cowdenbeath Newburgh 2-3 civil service strollers. newtongrange 2-1 Hawick AET Fauldhouse 7-1 Edinburgh cfc todays match report comes from station park!! Livingston utd v Bo’ness utd. I thought today a lot of the third division teams would suffer some heavy defeats at the hands of the lowland league outfits in these cup ties, however not the case and certainly wasn’t the case at station park today. the game started with Bo’ness Utd dominating the ball and playing most of their football in the Livingston half. Livingston looked very well organised and frustrated Bo’ness into their own mistakes. Couple of chances for Bo’ness to break the deadlock after a cross from the wide area was headed over. Another chance for Bo’ness minute later after the big Livingston centre half got the ball stuck under his foot, only for the Bo’ness striker to steal it off him and race clear, however he couldn’t beat the Livingston keeper who went on to have a good game. Livingston had a couple of chances themselves in the first half. header that forced the Bo’ness keeper into a save from a long throw and a couple of deep free kicks were unlucky not to find the target. Livingston looked to be growing in confidence, Bo’ness looked like they weren’t going to break Livingston down until a minute before half time when a well worked move down their left hand side and cross into the box found the head of the Bo’ness Utd midfielder who opened the scoring. sore on Livingston who never really put a foot wrong and had worked so hard. 2nd half the second half started pretty much the same as the first, Bo’ness had made 4 changes at half time. Bo’ness started with dominating the ball and Livingston remaining tough to break down. 25 minutes left to play and Livingston made their changes with tiredness setting in after the work that was put in. however the changes weren’t just for fresh legs, the third division outfit changed formation and started having a go at the lowland league outfit. with this Livingston started to move up the park, get a few set pieces and started to look more of a threat. a few shots from distance and a bit more energy in their play. however with this comes more space for Bo’ness and they capitalised on this with 15 minutes to play when another well worked cross found the foot of the Bo’ness striker standing inside the six yard box to make it 2-0. unlucky for the Livingston goalkeeper who got two hands to it, but couldn’t prevent the second goal. I thought the remaining 15 minutes would maybe add another 2/3 goals for Bo’ness Utd. Livingston dusted themselves down and really started going at Bo’ness Utd. a deep free kick for Livingston found the head of the Livingston striker who knocked it down to the centre half who looks to have been tripped inside the box, screams for a penalty by the Livingston team and bench… but nothing giving. (I thought it was a penalty on first viewing) a couple of minutes later and a Livingston free kick nearly found the back of the net, Bo’ness Utd keeper was scrambling across his goals to pull off a good save. with 5 left to play Livingston broke away, good link up play by the two strikers to create a good chance for the home side, however A good defensive last ditch tackled prevented the ball rattling the back of the net. With a minute left on the clock Bo’ness got a free kick 20 yards out. well struck by the Bo’ness midfielder and a good save by the Livingston keeper, only for Bo’ness to have a striker gambling in the area to pounce and put the game to bed. 3-0 and the game was done. a very good battle between 2 teams and an exciting game for the neutral. Livingston looked very well organised on and off the ball today. Bo’ness looked comfortable on the ball and took their goals really well. vloggy (-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 Stoneyburn used too many trialists v Ormiston on July 27th; their 1-0 win becomes 0-1 loss. Livingston Utd used an ineligible trialist v Fauldhouse on 24th Aug; their 3-2 win becomes 0-1 loss. Pair drop from 4th & 5th to respectively 7th & 10th while in a neat symmetry Fauldhouse + Ormiston rise from 7th & 10th to 4th & 5th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Down into the dark and dreary depths of despair that is the EOSL Third Division for me today. It was Ormiston v Lochgelly Albert. I wasn't expecting too much but the game was better than I had imagined. Lochgelly were the better team and enjoyed a good spell towards the end of the first half where the young Ormi keeper pulled off some good saves. Both teams had some terrible misses when presented with goal chances, one which sticks in the mind is when an Ormi player broke through, just had the keeper to beat, and he screwed his shot wide. Another was when I uttered the words "he must score" when an Albert player was gifted with a golden chance... and shot wide. It was Anna-Viktoria Vittinghoff's first match in the EOSL as a referee, having ran the line at games over the last couple of seasons. Two yellow cards handed out- for a foul and dissent- had a fairly quiet game and didn't do anything to cause concern. One for the future? Well, we'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
