Pumpherston United U15's continue fine league run: 20-09-09
The Under 15's kept their league form up to date with a fine 5-1 win over Polbeth United on Sunday. The win moves the team up to joint 4th with at least 1 game in hand on those around us and just 2 points off Livingston Hearts White who sit in 3rd spot. Two goals from James and 1 from Sean put Pumphi in the driving seat at half time however, a penalty awarded against us 10 minutes into the second half meant the boys had to raise their game to see the match out. Pumpherston were creating chances by this stage but not converting until Scott popped up with a fine strike for number 4 before Sean sealed the game from within the 6 yard box for the 5th.

Pumpherston United U13's Scottish Cup continues: 12-09-09
Pumpherston United U13's followed up last week's SE Regional Cup win with a 1st round Scottish Challenge Cup win this morning. Pumpherston beat Newcraighall Leith Victoria 1-0 at Pumpherston Park. A lovely sunshine filled morning saw Pumpherston United control most of the first half scoring early on courtesy of number 15's looping shot. Pumpherston continued to threaten throughout the first half, hitting the crossbar and the post in the later stages of the first 35 minutes. Into the second half and it was a more determined Newcraighall Leith Victoria that made Pumpherston feel the pressure, NCLV seeing their own efforts stopped by the woodwork and a very alert Pumphi keeper. Both teams had opportunities to score but Pumpherston held on, and indeed were unlucky to see a last minute goal ruled offside. Newcraighall proved tough opposition and played very well throughout. Well done all.

Pumpherston United 1995 progress into round two of the Scottish Youth FA Challenge Cup after defeating Fauldhouse United Star 7-1 at Pumpherston Park. 2 Goals in the first half from Sean and Michael saw Pumpherston sitting in good shape after the first 40 minutes. Goals from Sean and Kye early in the second half seemed to seal the game however Fauldhouse pulled one back to create a bit of a nervy spell. Jack snuffed out any concerns though when he grabbed number 5 before Sean sealed his hat-trick for number 6. Kye finished the game off grabbing a brace and goal number 7. Well played the lads.
