Lowland and East of Scotland U20 Development League Challenge Cup Quarter Final
Bonnyton Thistle 2 v 2 Kelty Hearts
... A home official approached Mr Welsh, looking at his watch. The first period of extra time saw Bonnyton have the better chances, Kelty picking up their first yellow for dissent. Their second came three minutes into the second period, Mr Welsh deciding that a forward had taken a dive. At which point time ran out, off went the lights, three blasts indicated an abandonment and everybody trooped out, encouraged by the man who wanted to lock the gate. What happens next? Who knows?
The match is being replayed tonight, again at Harriet Road, which seems rather harsh on Kelty. At least this time the kick-off is at 19.30, so unless penalties go to 20 all, there should be a winner before the lights go out.
