Kevin agreed to be out 1st referee to be interviewed at a fixture

Was there a moment — a goal, a challenge, or even a bit of sportsmanship — that, despite the conditions, summed up the spirit of Scottish amateur football for you?

Nothing comes to mind so will let you come up with one of them.

How would you describe the overall feel of the game — fiery, respectful, end-to-end, or something else?

Hard fought, closely contested game. 2 evenly matched teams and played in the right manner.

Looking back, how do you reflect on the match from the referee’s perspective?

Really enjoyable. If all matches could be like that there would be no issues. Both teams a credit to themselves and the league, both trying to play football the right way and Clydebank probably did enough to edge the game overall.


“After a firm 50/50, both skippers shared a quick word and reset the tone — the kind of small gesture that keeps Sunday football flowing.”
