CHAIRMAN: STEPHEN PRINCE

SECRETARY: GEORGE FRASER

MEDIA: MICHAEL PARK

REPORTER: SAM JENKINSON

CHAIRMAN’S REMARKS Footballing success is all about the youngest children I’m afraid.

By that I mean if we start working on our players at 3 years old, making them physically literate and comfortable on the ball with both feet we might qualify for the 2028 World Cup in Alaska, although more likely 2034 World Cup in Antarctica would be a more realistic goal.

We have a secret handshake and we communicate in a code so uncrackable that Alan Turing would give up and take up working in the fields.

If you want to know more and you can keep a secret come and take a look at our 4v4s on a Saturday morning at Scotstoun or the Primary 1s on a Tuesday at Hyndland Secondary.

Antarctica 2034 is more than No-one will tell you that just a dream. though, it’s one of those facts that the Government can’t Stephen PRINCE tell the people for fear of civil BSC Chairman disobedience and a complete breakdown in society. The fact that I am writing this piece and you’re reading it puts us all in danger.

So what do we do? I’ll let you in on a secret. The Scottish Lowland league is in fact a secret organisation of football clubs who are banding together to save football.

MANAGER’S THOUGHTS I would like to wish a warm welcome to the Indodrill Stadium this afternoon to Craig and the management, players and staff of Preston Athletic Football Club. They are a well-established club with a proud history and this is their first visit to play against us at Alloa.

This is only our second return game of the season as we reach the midway point of the Lowland League 2016 – 2017 season. We fought out a one each draw earlier in the year at the first fixture at the Pennypit where a tough competitive game took place. We expect no different today.

Despite their current league position according to my reports Preston have been playing well and have been very unfortunate on several occasions. We will have to be at our best today to ensure a positive result.

Last Saturday at home to Cumbernauld Colts we hung in and battled

for a one each draw against a very talented Colts side. Several of their players impressed me and they are clearly well drilled in the style of football they play.

Conceding a needless goal from a corner so early in the game could have set us back badly but we showed the necessary character required to stay positive and equalise late in the game. We are honest enough to admit that it was a long way from our best performance of the season but the players showed the proper application to deserve at least a draw.

Hitting the post in extra time at the end of the game and missing the rebound from close in left us a bit despondent but given that Joe Wilton had earlier made an excellent save in the second half a share of the spoils was probably fair on the day.

We are looking forward to today’s match as we feel at home we can compete with anybody and are very determined to get a positive result.

Enjoy the game.

Mark S. ADAMS

First Team Manager

Sam JENKINSON @ The Indodrill Stadium

Blair Lyons marked his BSC Glasgow debut on Saturday with a well-deserved late equaliser against a spirited Cumbernauld Colts side.

The visitors were reduced to 10 men with the vast majority of the second half still to play, and held on to their slender lead as BSC dominated until substitute Lyons slotted home to give himself the perfect start in a yellow and blue jersey.

Shaun Bowers returned to the starting line up as Robbie Duncan moved forward into midfield for the battle against his old side.

The pacey duo of Aidan Ferris and Riccardo Corrieri continued up front as BSC looked to pick up their first win in three games.

That task looked a lot harder within 10 minutes after the Colts galloped into an early lead. BSC failed to deal with a Stephen O’Neill corner into the area, and Sean Brown took advantage, poking into

the bottom corner from 12 yards.

O’Neill was impressive in the early stages, and nearly had a goal of his own after a knock down found him inside the area, but it was deflected wide.

BSC’s first chance came from a set piece after Mark Batchelor received his first yellow for taking down Paul Keys. Tom Woods put in a good delivery, and captain Mark Toner won the header, but Lewis Bell’s strike from the second ball was saved

by Chris Fahey.

Andrew Selkirk then came inches away from doubling the visitors lead, but his strike cannoned off the bar after he won the ball back in the final third.

BSC’s best chance of the first half fell to Ferris after a good bit of play by Corrieri was followed by a dinked ball in, but the onrushing striker’s header went over

the bar.

Batchelor then handed BSC a lifeline, picking up his second yellow of the day after a foul on the halfway line with 40 minutes to go in the game.

Immediately, Mark Adams’ side were on top. Duncan came close after a nice run, but his shot went wide. Corrieri was next to strike wide, after the impressive Duncan played him in following a powerful run forward.

Joe Wilton still had to be alert up the other end, however, making a super one-handed stop from Jeff Fergus’ back post header to send it round the post.

1-1 found Lyons peeling off towards the back post to place past the Colts keeper.

BSC continued to dominate in the final 10 minutes, and had one final massive chance in the dying seconds. Colts skipper Richard Kirwin fouled Lyons 25 yards out, giving Traynor a chance to strike. His excellent effort came off the post, before the rebound fell to Bowers at speed who fired over.

BSC look to turn those chances into goals today as Preston Athletic visit the Indodrill Stadium for BSC’s third conShaun Bowers was next to miss in front of goal, with some secutive home fixture. The two sides drew at the start of good play from Lyons out on the season, with Joe Wilton the right creating space for earning the point with a great the Celtic loanee in the box penalty save. only for his shot to go off target once again.

Team: Wilton; Bowers, Bell, Toner, Keys (Holms, 80); CunAnd it was two substitutes ningham (Traynor 70), Redwho combined to finally get path, Duncan; Woods (Lyons past Fahey.

different. Andrew’s side lost an early opener and could have crumbled.

Instead Goodness Bibilari equalised and until a sending-off for Lewis Graham that the little midfielder will learn from the game was there for them.

Sometimes you can find rewards in defeat. Last Saturday my role as Director of Coaching saw me end my first Match Week mentoring our Under-16s Thistle squad coach Andrew Cannell.

At 22, Andrew has his coaching career ahead of him and the first steps look promising.

He spent this summer at Camp America tutoring kids in sport. In his absence the Thistle boys got off to an inauspicious start in the league, losing 9-1 and 7-0 in their opening two fixtures.

Club diehard Peter Winckles asked if I could come in and do a session with the boys as part of my new role and I was delighted to. Together working with Andrew and Peter we began to rebuild confidence and focus in a talented group of footballers.

The improvement in the team’s performances has been marked. They pushed our Paisley and Johnstone District Division One side all the way in a derby with their club mates in the Scottish Cup only losing narrowly 2-1.

They have been undefeated in their own league games until Saturday’s trip to face league leaders St Peter’s BC. This was the game they lost 9-1 at the start of the season and at the weekend they were defeated again.

The circumstances, though, were wholly

It was a sickener that keeper Lee Penman should end up blaming himself for St Peter’s winner, he had no need to.

He had given everything nursing a groin strain and performed admirably.

The boys were dejected by their 2-1 defeat and when I drove away from the ground I saw coach Andrew trudging towards the train station disconsolate.

He was on his journey home, his solace should be that his team have already completed a key stage of their journey.

To go from 9-1 at the start of the season to what they produced on Saturday shows what can be achieved by collective effort on the training pitch and togetherness off it.

I hope it also shows in a little way that this club’s vision in making the first steps towards an established technical department that can help with coach mentoring is justified.

Our next step with a host of developing young coaches throughout the club is to find the funding to help them take the next step on the coaching ladder.

For now I welcome Preston Athletic yet pray for a yellow and blue victory for Mark’s team today whilst remembering that sometimes you can make huge steps in football - even when you lose.

Preston Athletic visit the Indodrill Stadium this Saturday as BSC play hosts once again. Currently the bottom side in the Lowland League, the Prestonpans side will be looking to overtake Selkirk with a win to take them onto 10 points for the season.

A difficult run of fixtures has seen them fall behind the middle pack in the Lowland League, and Craig Nisbet’s side will be looking to kick-start their winter with an away victory in Alloa.

Mark Adams’ and his BSC side currently find themselves in tightly contested group. As the second half of the Lowland League season begins, the table is too close to call, with three points separating Whitehill Welfare in fifth and BSC in tenth.

With only 13 league games remaining including Saturday’s tie, BSC will be looking to turn some of their recent good performances into even better results and push on up

the table to threaten the likes of East Stirlingshire in fourth place.

An extended spell of domination finally brought a goal for BSC last time out against Cumbernauld, as trialist Blair Lyons impressed going forward before picking up that late equaliser.

Preston forward Neil Shave will be looking to get revenge on Joe Wilton in the BSC goals, who thwarted him last time the side’s met as BSC returned to Glasgow with a point on the second matchday of the Ferrari Packing Scottish Lowland Football League season.

Last April, BSC were victorious over Nisbet’s side, with Aidan Ferris getting two goals that day.

IN BRIEF

East Kilbride’s winning run came to an end at the hands of Spartans who recorded a 1-0 win at home. Dalbeattie Star kept up the pressure at the top with a win at home to Gala but it was Stirling University who were the big winners of the day, leaping into the top ten thanks to a good result against Hawick. With only three points separating fifth and tenth, it could be a big weekend in the Ferrari Packaging Scottish Lowland Football League.

Preston Athletic was formed as a by-product of the mining community of Prestonpans when the miners of Preston Grange and Preston Links gave a penny out of their wages every week to keep it going. The coal industry was shut down in Prestonpans in the 1960s and Preston Athletic were left to fend for themselves like many other Junior Clubs in the Lothians. Preston is probably the only part of that era left in Prestonpans with the exception of the mining museum at Preston Grange.

Preston Athletic first took the field as a Junior Football Club in season 1945/46. The players and committee being almost entirely from the local mining community of Prestonpans, the Club took over the pitch vacated by the recently defunct Prestongrange Rovers.

Keeping their close links with mining, the Club moved in 1950 to a more suitable pitch at Preston Links Park. This had been vacated by Thorntree United and was adjacent to the other large Colliery in the area.

This period was probably the best in the Club`s history when large crowds were attracted to the games. In the early 1960s

L-L -L-L-L

the Colliery was closed as the area had been earmarked by the South of Scotland Electricity Board for Cockenzie Power Station. The Club found itself on the move again and this time settled at its present home, Pennypit Park. The park was built on the site of the former Penny Pit, one of the oldest mines in the area, although by this time less of the Club players were miners.

The Club turned Senior in 1994 when they were accepted as a member of the East of Scotland Football League. In 1995 they applied for and were accepted as a member of the SFA. During season 1999/2000 Preston applied for one of the two vacant Scottish Football League positions but were rejected in favour of Peterhead FC and Elgin FC. They applied again in May 2002 but again were unsuccessful. The Scottish Football League voted for Gretna to join their ranks and they have been proved to be very successful.

On 4 August 2012 Preston achieved their first away win in a Scottish Cup tie defeating Fort William 3-1 in a preliminary round tie. In November 2012, Preston was awarded an SFA Club Licence and became one of the founding members of the Scottish Lowland Football League in 2013/14.

FROM THE ARCHIVE...

by David Bonnar. Clapperton then seized on a poor clearance, took a touch and fired powerfully into the top right corner from 20 yards.

Aidan Ferris put BSC on top after just three minutes, but Ryan Clapperton’s double put Rovers 2-1 up at the break. Ciaran Johnston and David Gray both scored to put BSC 3-2 up, but Stuart Noble equalised and then won a penalty as Jamie Gibson converted to give 10-man Gala the win.

It didn’t take Johnston long to take his chance after the break.

Some high pressing forced an error from Colin Galbraith, and the striker stole the ball and smashed a shot into the roof of the net from just outside the area.

BSC continued their form from the previous week as Ferris’ found the back of the net early.

Gray swung in a corner from the left, with Callum Home winning the header inside the six yard box. Ferris, unmarked at the near post, stabbed at the ball and it slipped past the goalkeeper into the back of the net.

Not long after though, Gala were back in the game. Clapperton, snatching his first of the day after his shot deflected off of a BSC defender, taking it past Derick Moore.

The match continued in hectic form as Gala went again before 15 minutes had passed. A Moore goal kick was won in the midfield

The game swung again in BSC’s favour through Captain Gray’s stunning free kick. Dean McColm fouled Ross McKinnon 25 yards from goal, and the skipper made no mistake as his curling effort left Wilson no chance as it swung into the top left corner.

Gala had a man sent off but punished the visitors for not taking their chances. Noble notched his second against BSC in two games, firing low under Derick Moore.

There was still time left for the home side to get the winner. A penalty was awarded after Stephen Bronsky was said to have fouled Noble inside the box. Gibson showed some composure to give his side all three points after what proved a wild encounter.

BSC Glasgow took the lead twice away at Netherdale, but a late penalty for the home side gave Gala Fairydean Rovers all three points.
