Familiarity returned but saw creditable wins for Inverkeithing, HofB and LTHV (their 1st of campaign) and good away draw for Sauchie. 'Burgh finally lost. Penicuik extend their winning streak.

Just for info, the Inverkeithing and Hillfield parts have been dropped from the club name and it’s now The Swift’s FC. Games now in Dalgety Bay rather than Inverkeithing.

Don't know what's to be confused about he tackled tripped him and didn't win the ball. 

Is that why the ball changed direction or did the forward just kick it out of play

The player had it as feet when he was tripped we will leave it there as it doesn't matter but was a stone waller.

Ultimately you are correct as the referee gave a penalty but as you say we will leave it there

Much to the bemusement of the Trinity College Cambridge and Durham University teams the East of Scotland League featured in a bonus question on University Challenge tonight.

1) Which town to the East of Edinburgh has a team called United and was the site of a 1651 victory for Oliver Cromwell?

2) Which flower features in the name of the team from Crossgates who play at Humbug Park?

3) Which borders town has a team called Royal Albert United?

The University of P&B would’ve smashed it tonight!

The Battle of Dunbar was in 1650, not 1651.

Also, I object to Dunbar being described as "to the east of Edinburgh". It took me a while to work out this was the battle they must have meant because Dunbar is fkn miles from Edinburgh. It's as near England as it is to Edinburgh. It's like describing Airdrie as a town to the west of Edinburgh.

It's 26 miles east of Edinburgh, which is the nearest city to the town in the country. Greenock is 22 miles from Glasgow and only an absolute fruit loop would object to it being described as 'west of Glasgow'. 

The guesses of 'Fife', 'Thistle', and 'Pass (after discussing the merits of both Glasgow and Aberdeen as Borders towns) merited a 100 point deduction.

That 1651 was my typo.

The questions were about East League so the University teams would have known that Airdrie was WOSL territory 😁

They could have made it a little tougher with throwing in a question on Harthill Royal........

Camelon v Lothian Thistle HV
Sauchie v Hill of Beath Hawthorn
Tranent v Newtongrange Star


Tranent can recover top spot with most combinations of victory over Newtongrange. For the rest attentions carries to the opposite end of the table: all are within a few points in the bottom 6.

Camelon good for 30 mins. Not with it 2nd half. Goalscorer Sean Stewart
