Tonight’s friendly was Kingdom of Fife F.A. League versus Perthshire Amateur F.A. League. It had rained quite hard in the hour up to kick off and there was light drizzle for the majority of the match, but the pitch here at Victory Park was in superb condition. It is located on the left hand side of Main Street, as you enter the village on the A912, when coming off Junction 9 of the M90. It is just an open pitch, but enclosed on all four sides and there’s a brick changing room building on the Main Street side of the ground.

Bridge of Earn opened the scoring courtesy of an own goal, but Luncarty levelled it at 1-1 scoring at the second attempt after a corner wasn’t cleared. Midway through the second half Bridge of Earn went back in front, when a free kick to the far side of the box was controlled and finished with a shot that took a slight deflection. Luncarty made it 2-2 with nine minutes left, finishing from just inside the box, but there was still time for Bridge of Earn to grab a late winner, when a free kick on the angle of the 18 yard box sailed over the ‘keeper and found it’s way in off the far post.
