Kennoway Star Hearts v Rannoch

2.45pm  28 July 2013

Andrew Leitch Memorial Trophy, Final
Kennoway Star Hearts 3 Rannoch 0 (att 82)

With the wet weather forcing a change of plan earlier in the day, the knock on effect was a new plan for the afternoon.

I could have headed back to Dundonald for the final of their tournament, but I prefer not to watch neutral games if possible, and as Kennoway Star Hearts had reached their own final I headed to the tiny village of Star, not far from Glenrothes.

Kennoway Star Hearts are the newest addition to the ranks of the Scottish Junior FA, and it was no surprise that they claimed this trophy against a line up of amateur opposition. Rannoch, from the Greater Glasgow Premier League, played some good football at times, and might have scored if they possessed a striker who could shoot on target, but it was very comfortable for the hosts.

Kennoway Star Hearts took and early lead, and soon after had a penalty saved. Somehow they failed to score again until the second half, when they managed two further goals.

The ground, Treaton Park, is a worthy addition to the Juniors. The setting is very rural, but the facilities are good with an enclosed pitch and a small amount of cover in front of the pavilion.
