Berts 2 Thornton Hibs 3...

Posted: Wednesday 2nd May 2012, 10:15pm

 

Lee Celentano

The Berts ended the 2011/12 season is dismal form after tonight's 3-2 defeat against Thornton Hibs at Gardiners Park.   In the club's defence, injuries and unavailability caused major problems with the Berts starting with 3 trialists, and a further 2 more on the bench, along with a first League appearance of the season (and first since August) for Assistant Manager Allan Moody.   But, saying that, that cannot hide or excuse a disappointing performance with the visitors deserving the points.

 

The Berts found themselves 2-0 down at the break and didn't look like getting back into the game until a long range shot from Martin Payne was parried by the Thornton keeper and Lee Celentano was in the right place at the right time to slot home the rebound.

 

The joy was short-lived when Thornton restored their 2 goal advantage after a mix up at the back, before Darren Seath smashed home a free kick with 14 minutes remaining on the clock. Sadly, we never really looked like getting on the scoresheet again and the visitors held out for the win.

 

It's a shame that the team has ended on a low, but the season has still had many, many pluses and seen the Ross and Moods assemble a good squad that, although it had taken a little time to gel, has improved on last season's finish - whether it be 3rd or 4th place.

 

Hopefully the players can recover from their injuries, recharge their batteries and come back firing on all cylinders for the 2012/13 season!

 

On behalf of everyone at Lochgelly Albert, thank you to all our supporters, sponsors, players and members of the Committee for all their hard work this season. Without all your contributions, Lochgelly Albert JFC would be in a far worse place.

 

We hope you all have a great summer break and that you will join us raring to go for the new season!

URGENT: Thornton Kick Off Moves to 7pm...

Posted: Tuesday 1st May 2012, 9:45pm

 

Please note, following a request from the League Secretary, we have been advised to move the kick off time for tomorrow evening's game against Thornton Hibs at Gardiners Park to a 7pm kick off, instead off 7.15pm - PENDING CONFIRMATION FROM THORNTON. Please ensure you are at the ground early for the potential new start time.

 

This is due to the evenings becoming darker earlier than anticipated and is to ensure there is sufficient light for the game to conclude.

 

Please can you pass this message onto anyone who is likely to attend the game. Thank you.

 

Berts 2 Kinnoull 3...

Posted: Sunday 29th April 2012, 12:00pm

 

Craig McGuire

A disappointing outcome, but overall a deserved win for Kinnoull against an injury hit Albert side.   The Berts were without any recognised central defenders but Lochgelly took the lead in 27 mins when McLean hit a 25 yard free kick in off the post. Another injury, this time to Sam Courts forced another complete reshuffle of the Albert defence but Kinnoull levelled in the 33rd minute, 'Noull's number 7 having a simple tap in from a pass from the Noull 9.   The visitors took the lead in the 38th minute when Lochgelly failed to clear and despite Colin Rushford saving the initial shot the ball fell kindly to another Kinnoull striker, (who may have been offside) to knock home and the ref allowed the goal to stand.

Kinnoull increased the lead on 59 minutes through an almost carbon copy of their first goal (simple tap in at back post with Albert defence AWOL).

 

Game really sparked to life in the final 15 minutes with both keepers called into action on several occasions.

 

Craig McGuire headed in a Willie Telford cross in the 81st minute to pull the game back to 3-2. Kinnoull keeper made a great double save to deny John McDiarmid and a trialist sub before Kinnoull went straight up the park and Rushford made a fantastic fingertip save to prevent a goal.

 

The Berts nearly snatched a draw in injury time but Kinnoull keeper again made another great save to keep out Colin Jeffrey's header from a Telford free kick.

 

Last day of season fixture is midweek...

Posted: Sunday 22nd April 2012, 6:00pm

 

The details for the Berts last remaining fixture of the 2011/12 season sees us face Thornton Hibs at Gardiners Park on WEDNESDAY 2ND MAY 2012 with a 7.15pm kick off.

 

It wasn't long ago that we faced Thornton away from home where we saw out a 3-1 victory, and Ross Kinnell's team will be seeking to end the season on a high and to ensure as high a league placing as possible - with the Berts able to finish anywhere between 2nd and 4th place.

 

Jeanfield Swifts 4 Berts 0...

Day off from the line for Jimmy Cowan

The Berts crashed to defeat against another strong performance from Jeanfield Swifts, in a game we never really got into.   Injury problems caused manager Ross Kinnell to name himself in the bench, alongside 2 other subs who were too injured to appear. Further injury problems meant that Kinnell even had to appear on the pitch for the final 10 minutes replacing Liam Catling.   The hosts were in the ascendancy from the start creating a number of chances before taking the lead in the 23rd minute when centre-back Aaron Whitehead nodded home from a corner.

 

The Berts did create a couple of chances through Darren Seath and Craig McGuire, but it was Jeanfield who were the more dominant.

 

The lead was extended on 56 minutes after Ryan McLean conceded a penalty after a foul on a home striker, with Tony Holt making no mistake from the spot and then Holt adding his second and Jeanfield's third in the 69th minute after good work and shooting home from the edge of the box.

 

The fourth goal came about from a long range shot that Colin Rushford saved but was not able to hold onto, with substitute Jon Kelly stabbing home from close range in the 75th minute.

 

The game was officiated in a good and sensible manner by the referee and we experienced the rare occurence of having two linesmen, which eliminated the several questionable offside decisions (both for and against) in recent games and it was good to have a referee who was not "card happy".

 

Best wishes to Jeanfield for the rest of the season, certainly the best team we have faced home and away this season. With Jeanfield still to have home games against both Kinnoull and Dundonald, you would have to fancy them for the title now.
