The Conference B Line 2021-22


Recommended Posts

Saturday 18th December 2021
Glenrothes 2-2 Luncarty
Heriot-Watt University 2-0 Hawick RAU
Lochore Welfare 2-2 Edinburgh South
Newburgh 1-4 Easthouses Lily
Peebles Rovers 1-1 Kinnoull
Preston Athletic V-V Burntisland Shipyard
Stirling University EOS 1-3 Oakley United


Leaders held by Luncarty as Oakley close to within 2pts. Kinnoull and Lochore also draw.

Due to the Christmas break there are no more games until 3 weeks time; except for the New Year derbies which have ended up here, there and everywhere. So with 60% of games completed a good opportunity to reflect on the standings.

Glenrothes lead only narrowly ahead of Oakley, while Preston remain in the driving seat given their games in hand. After that a few longer shot hopes. It looks like catching Luncarty is the best chance of those in bottom half surviving.

FT - Preston 8-0 Hawick

Hosts were as comfortable winners as the scoreline suggests versus an embattled Hawick at the Pennypit Park in Prestonpans. There was perhaps 120-150 of a crowd there to see it. First half goals came from a corner, tap-in from a squared ball, 1-on-1 after the defence parted and a penalty. Visitors rallied after the break then sunk back to type with a 'keeper error losing possession after fresh-airing it, misplaced pass-back, and 2 runs which split the defence. It should have been 10 - as a sympathetic ref gave 2 offsides in the closing minutes which appeared very generous. Preston now 4pts from top with 3 games-in-hand.

Glenrothes dropped points in their Fife derby at home to Lochore. Preston took advantage, and close to within 2pts while having 3 games-in-hand. Oakley missed their chance to come level in drawing with Luncarty. Burntisland's fine win leaves them best-placed to mount an assault on vital 'top 7'.

Is that Hawick now mathematically certain to be in the new second division next season?

Mathematically no, they could still get to 26 points and be spared relegation if the EOS loses a club to the LL - but for all intents and purposes, yes.

Dramatic winner for Easthouses in the Borders. Not sure it was enough for simulation as the player doesn't fall down dramatically or appeal, but if the ref gives a YC for that, then it surely has to be brought back for an IDFK.

Boy with the flag would be best served with a visit to Specsavers as the ball didn't go out of play. :lol:

  Hawick RAU        are relegated to EOSL Second Division for 2022-23

Hawick will become the first club in the history of the Scottish league system to have played in all of tiers 5, 6, 7, 8... having played in Lowland from 2016-2018; EOS single league 2015-16 and conferences 2018-19; EOS First Division 2013-2015 and its conferences 2019-2022. They also become the first club in the southerly pyramid to fall 3 levels; Brechin achieved this in the northerly pyramid last season.

Still not mathematically certain, Hawick could still reach 26 points with both Edinburgh South and Burntisland losing all their remaning matches having already met each other twice.

But that wouldn't be enough to beat Coldstream on 28 points in the other Conference ;)

Referees performance at Newburgh Shippy was shocking. Not sure how the shippy boy got a second yellow. Heard the defender kick his foot from the side of the park. Ref sent him off for diving

Oakley dealt a blow to their visitors title hopes whilst enhancing their own credentials as they go top. Meanwhile losses for Kinnoull and Heriot-Watt Uni do nothing to alleviate their concerns looking below. Newburgh down. Preston v Oakley next Saturday a real cracker.
