soaked Love Street St Mirren had 90 per cent of the play but were unable to convert this superiority in possession into goals The first sinner was Alec Bone who twice within five minutes in the first-half failed to score with only the keeper to beat Gilles McGill and Cummings also influence may be repeated Saints man of the match: Danny McGill for finally putting the ball in the net St Mirren: Fridge McLaughlin Fabiani Manley Taylor Fullarton Gillies Gillies McGill Bone Cummings Stirling Albion: Robertson Trialist Ross Docherty Taylor Trialist Reilly Callaghan Pew Brown McCallum (sub Brogan 53 mins) had efforts blocked by the inspired Stirling keeper Robertson before Albion took the lead in 39 minutes The Saints defence was posted missing as Brown lashed a loose ball home from eight yards This goal sparked an incredible series of let-offs for the Stirling goal through good luck and poor finishing by Saints Firstly Alec Bone had a shot cleared off the line then Roland Fabian! hit a blockbuster from 30 yards which Robertson amazingly turned round the post and from the resultant corner Stuart fine crossfield pass released Paul Cummings but once more Robertson managed to save when he had no right to do so The second half was a carbon copy of the first when Saints again dominated in terms of possession but were once more floored by the sucker punch Ironically three minutes into injury time the ball finally nestled In the Stirling net when Danny McGill dispatched the ball past Robertson Gordon Smith pointed to the missed chance as his main failing and suggested

the CIS indoor league By Gavin Pennie TODAY is D-Day for debt-ridden ice hockey team The Bruins The crisis-hit club formerly Ayr Raiders have been suspended by the British Ice Hockey Association and their future will finally be decided today The financial backer David Gardner-Brown can save the club IF he comes up with the £25000 needed to clear the debts Otherwise they will be frozen out for good But English-based Mr Gardner-Brown told the Express that he WOULD be travelling to Scotland today to deposit the cash He said: has provided marvellous facilities for the club and the people At home however the seniors beat Cumbernauld 67-60 Paisley ladies entertained Inverclyde and lost 84-76 in a tight match which went to the last end Scores: Dunlop 20 Conway 22 A Booth 14 Galbreath 29

Riddell and Dunlop (skip) Cleland A Watson Crawford and A Booth (skip) deposit the money the suspension will be The sorry saga began last week when Mr Gardner-Brown failed to meet British Ice Hockey Association deadlines to clear the debts Cheques were reported to have bounced and the three Canadian star imports were ready to walk out after their wages appear in the bank On Saturday thousands of Bruins fans were left disappointed when the home clash against Telford Tigers was called off at the last minute Frank Dempster president of the Scottish Ice Hockey Association still believes the club will almost certainly go out of business Mr Dempster said: is only a glimmer of hope now Mr Gardner-Brown has promised to deposit the money but afraid he has broken that kind of promise before chance is still there for Mr Gardner-Brown to save the club but running out of time If he come up with the money the club will definitely fold Despite the bleak future team manager Colin Wilson is hopeful they will survive He said: Gardner-Brown has told me sort things out and I have faith in him think the ice hockey association acted a bit hastily when they suspended us but if the money is paid in today then be back in lave given us tremendous support I want to assure them that doing everything in my power to ensure that the Bruins will survive already booked buses and hotels for this games against Slough and Basingstoke sympathise with the fans and I can understand their fears The whole episode has also been embarrassing for me and my credibility has suffered never walked away from my debts and I never will Business problems have prevented me from paying off the debts but told that as soon as I BASKETBALL AMATEUR FOOTBALL Youths stay unbeaten in National League David Montgomery top
