With the postponement of the Lowland Development League, East Fife can announce that five of our Under 20s squad had gone on loan until January 2021.
Left-back Cammy Dow has joined Carnoustie Panmure who play in the Scottish Junior FA East Region Premiership North league. Cammy started and scored in a 10-0 win for Carnoustie against Scone Thistle in their opening league match. Carnoustie are scheduled to travel to play Kirriemuir Thistle in the league next weekend.
Midfielders Ali Wilkinson and Jack Healy have joined East of Scotland League 1st Division Conference A side St. Andrew’s United. St. Andrew’s faced Hawick Royal Albert in the Challenge Cup yesterday with both Ali and Jack featuring in the starting XI. Losing 2-nil at half time, Jack pulled one back for his new side shortly after half time with a strike from outside the box and the Fife side drew level a couple of minutes later but Hawick grabbed the winner from the penalty spot with 15 minutes left to play. Next up for St. Andrew’s is an away match against Arniston Rangers, who sit one place below them, in the league on Saturday.
Defender Nathan Laird and forward Jordan Mackenzie have joined East of Scotland League 1st Division Conference B side Burntisland Shipyard. Nathan and Jordan both made their debuts as second half substitutes yesterday in a 4-1 loss to Kyle Bell’s Bo’ness United side in the Challenge Cup, although reports suggest the score line was harsh on the Fife side against their higher league opponents. Next up for Burntisland is an away fixture against the league’s bottom side Eyemouth United.
Darren Young: “Due to Covid it was a bit of a nightmare with the 20s not having any games we felt it was best to get them out there and get them playing until January when hopefully things change. If they do then they can get back playing together but as it is, it is best for them to be training week in and week out and getting games. Some of them did well last year and were knocking on the door. It’s down to them, they’re all good guys, so hopefully they go out, do well, keep their fitness up and try to improve and progress.”.
All the best to Cammy, Ali, Jack, Nathan and Jordan!
