Moray Welfare League, Division One
The Broons 2 Elgin Albion 1 (att 43)
The Moray Welfare League is one of northern Scotland's summer leagues, but it didn't feel much like summer on a wet and gloomy afternoon inside an all weather 3G "cage" pitch at Speyside High School in Aberlour.
The Broons (I've no idea if DC Thomson have approved their use of the name) are new to the league this year, and look on course for a swift promotion to the Premier Division. Having made a strong start to the league I expected them to win this game more comfortably than they did.
Perhaps they became complacent after going ahead after just four minutes, and adding a second well before half time. Elgin kept battling though, and pulled a goal back shortly before half time.
That was the end of the goalscoring, although The Broons dominated the second half, hitting the frame of the goal three times and forcing a string of good saves by Elgin's keeper. There was always a chance Elgin Albion would level, and they had a few chances on the break.
The Broons home venue is a typical 3G pitch, surrounded by high fences. Unlike some, spectators can stand inside, and the nearside has hardstanding and a barrier for spectators to stand behind. Speyside High School was a busy place, with a children's football competition on the adjacent grass pitches.
