This was a game between two teams who play in the Perthshire Amateur F.A. It was 3rd versus 2nd in last season’s final placings in Division 2 of the league, with Luncarty newly promoted into Division 1 for this season. It was an excellent game, end to end and edged by Bridgeton as they made the most of their chances. A free kick from the edge of the D saw the hosts take an early lead and they added a second goal twelve minutes into the second half, powering in a header from six yards. Luncarty pulled a goal back when they headed in from a corner with sixteen minutes left, but Bridgeton made it 3-1 late on, scoring another free kick from the edge of the D.

The ground is in the village of Almondbank, to the northwest of Perth, sandwiched between Main Street and the River Almond, on the right hand side as you enter the village from the A85. It’s just an open pitch, with a changing room building that’s on the other side of the lane that leads to the bowling club behind the north goal end. A very pleasant setting on a nice sunny evening.
