Hawick Royal Albert 0 v 3 Leith Athletic - League Match - Albert Park, Hawick

As both teams were going through there warm up. there was one thing very visible between the sides and that was the number of players Hawick had warming up compared to Leith, such a change in contrast to our early encounter which we won 16 nil, we had to name our coach Colin Tomassi on the bench alongside Eugene and Waldo who arrived late on his rick saw! Hawick where really up for it and you could see that In there warm up, also they had their full strength team and a proper goal keeper so this was going to be different score than the last time, well the score line was although we scored on the run of play excellent ball in by Chris Beaton and finished well by trialist Mark McGregor, our second was another excellent strike by Greg Irvine, Coldstream bound Crouchy looked out of sorts during the match although that might have something to do with the emotional send off the Manager gave the players before the game! Anyway Hawick huff and puffed as they always do but again sadly lacking in any quality or direction but never less they didn’t give up, shortly before the end Steven Radzynski scored, an excellent through ball from Andy Milligan, Rad finished passed advancing Gavin Watson. Leith where cheered on by their biggest travelling support in ages, certainly the cheap lager and super Gary McKay’s sold in the kitchen went down a treat. Game finished 3.0 and Leith ended the season in 5th Place and the Alex Jack Cup in the bag.

The players presented Eugene with a signed home jersey as a thank you for all the Managers efforts, excellent touch by the players. Tam Currie thanked Eugene for all his efforts and of course delivering the team’s first senior trophy.
