We have been in touch today with our friends at Berwick Rangers FC regarding ‘ballgate’ and have arranged for the match ball to either be collected by one of their local players or we will send it down to Berwick to be passed on to Liam Buchanan in respect of his hat-trick feat.
For the avoidance of doubt the Cowdenbeath kitman was not involved in the matter at all.
In such situations a simple request relayed to the Cowdenbeath FC secretary after the game once the teams are all settled back in the dressing rooms is probably how these matters can best be handled.
