So, after only ever revisiting two grounds in Scotland before last night, I was now doing my second in a little over 13 hours. My last visit here was on a Friday night, when Camelon drew 1-1 with Bo’ ness United (who will play their remaining matches here this season whilst an artificial pitch is laid at their own ground) in a Scottish Junior F.A. East Region Super League match on 11th May 2007. Despite it only being 12 years ago, I had little recollection of the ground, which is very surprising considering what a gem it is. From the outside, it felt very familiar, but once through the turnstiles, it was as if I was stepping into the unknown. These days I take photographs, so hopefully it will help me remember some of the places a bit more clearly in the future!

Edinburgh United were never really in this and were lucky to escape with just a 5-1 thrashing, as Camelon dominated throughout. The win means Camelon finish third in the league table.
