The Beautiful South for the Berts...

It has been confirmed at the East Region League's AGM that the Berts will be placed into the revised South Division for the 2013/14 season following the League restructure which has seen the Central League abolished and a new North & South District League structure. Meanwhile, near neighbours Lochore Welfare have found themselves in the North League with the boundary between the Leagues passing in the middle of Lochgelly and Lochore.

 

The new divisions are made up, as follows:

Steelend Vics

Crossgates Primrose

Rosyth

Falkirk

Edinburgh United

Haddington Athletic

Tranent

The new season will start on Saturday 10th August with only 1 midweek anticipated as being used. The club are expecting to receive their first 6 fixtures shortly and these will appear on the website as soon as possible.

 

Meanwhile, the club have announced their first pre-season friendly fixture. On Saturday 20th July 2013 the club make the return visit to Kilwinning Rangers. The match at Abbey Park kicks off at 2.00pm. The Berts welcomed Kilwinning to Gardiners Park last pre-season in a match which we won 3-2.

 

Also, following the signing of Shaun Leishman at the end of the season, this was quickly followed up with the signing of Greig O'Hanlon who impressed during a number of games as trailist towards the end of last season.

 

Welcome to the club, Greig!

 

1 in, 1 out for the Berts...

The club have already started their preparations for the 2013/14 season by announcing the departure of one player and the arrival of another.   Utility player (including goalkeeper!) Colin Jeffrey has left the club for pastures new. Jaff's was always a 100% Lochgelly boy and this showed in his style of play.   Numerous memories stick out including Jaff's "Skill Skool" at Jeanfield a couple of seasons ago, his debut in goal to cover an injury crisis in the 5-1 win over Steelend in the League Cup at the start of the season and the coining of the phrase "You've Been Jaffa'd!!!".   Everyone at Lochgelly Albert wishes this popular player every success for the future and hope he is able to take in a game or two at Gardiners Park in the not too distant future.

 

Meanwhile, Ross Kinnell and his team are pleased to announce the capture of Strathmiglo Amateurs central midfielder Shaun Leishman. 'Leish' has featured a number of times towards the end of the season and has excelled in his appearances and it looks like the club have secured a valuable addition to the team.

 

Welcome to the Berts, Shaun!
