Rovers Win 6 Pointer
Rovers beat Montrose 3 - 1 to win the 6 pointer at Cliftonhill today to come within 2 points of the Angus side in the league table.

A police v fire brigade shoot-out at half-time was won 4-1 by the firemen.

Quiz
Last night in Chic's cafe at Cliftonhill the Albion Rovers Supporters' Trust held a quiz night which Airdrie United's trust sent some teams to also. The capacity crowd enjoyed themselves and the winning team was appropriately named "Flash" and consisted of Rovers fans.

The raffle was a big success for the visitors from "up the road" as they went home with arms full of prizes mainly consisting of an alcoholic nature. Veronica MacGregor the Airdrie United Supporters' Trust and fans representative on the club's board won a hospitality package at the next home game, against Berwick Rangers. She explained she'd be at the United match that day and the prize was drawn again and awarded to another winner.

The raffle prizes were conducted by the clubs as yet unnamed canine mascot pictured below along with quizmaster Eddie Hagerty. The total raised for the trust was around the £250 mark.
