Elgin Thrashed
In an enthralling cup tie at Cliftonhill tonight Rovers thrashed Elgin City 5 - 2 in a match which could have ended up 10 - 4. A Donnelly penalty, then a Lennon goal, two from Chaplain and a nice Savage strike went down nicely.

Derby Day Draw
A goal seconds into injury time from Joe Savages head gave Rovers a deserved share of the points in this tight match at Cliftonhill. A cross-cum-shot by Weatherston had put the Spiders ahead in 54 minutes.

This match saw a special guest entertained in the board room, 84 year-old Peter Blain who played for Rovers alongside Jock Stein during his stint at Cliftonhill in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Peter is on holiday from his home in Australia and was at Firhill to see the challenge cup triumph and was particularly impressed by Gordon Lennon in that match.

The Albion Rovers Supporters' Trust presented Mr. Blain with a goodie bag containing a programme form the recent Jock Stein Friendship Trophy match, a scarf, hat and other items!

Ballboy and trust committee member Shaun Millar made the presentation with a short speech, Mr. Blain responded with a thank-you speech and a wee reminiscence.
