Under 19s make it 3 in a row

Derek Nicholson's under 19 side have found their rhythm in recent games after an inconsistent start to the SFL youth campaign.

Sunday's fine 7-0 win over Brechin City at Beath High School comes on the back of a 7-4 victory against Arbroath and a 5-2 triumph at home to Annan Athletic.

In demand Liam Callaghan set up Craig Johnstone for the opener against Brechin before further goals from Lewis Milne, Jordyn Gill and Jack Nicholson made the score 4-0 at half-time. That was the way it remained until Lewis Baker made a memorable debut from the bench. The youngster only replaced Nicholson with 24 minutes remaining but managed to bag a hat-trick.

Next up for the 19s is a trip west to face Dumbarton.

In other news, 19s keeper Lee Wilson has joined local East Junior Super League side Kelty Hearts on loan while Craig Newall has been released.
