Blues Brothers are football crazy

3 games, 16 goals all in one day

Airdrie's Ryan Donnelly (centre) gets away from Beith duo Martin McGarvey and Derek McCullochTwo of Third Division Stranraer’s management committee, Ian Dougan and Shaun Niven, showed their love of the game on Tuesday when they went on a three game journey that saw 16 goals scored in the space of 9 hours. The duo went to Ayrshire’s Bellsdale Park in the afternoon to take in Beith’s 7 goal thriller against an Airdrie side that triumphed 4-3 before heading to Glasgow to watch their own side defeat Junior side Clydebank 2-0 in a friendly at Toryglen.

Their car was pointed in a southerly direction and arrived just in time for the 7.30pm kick off between Third Division rivals Annan and Brechin City that the Glebe Park outfit won 5-2.

Dougan said, “It has been a bit of a whirlwind time and my only regret is that Stranraer never scored as often as Brechin did.”
