"Incredible": Luncarty promoted to the East of Scotland League's Premier Division

Luncarty secured promotion to the East of Scotland League’s Premier Division on Wednesday night - and manager Robbie Holden hailed the achievement "incredible".

The Bleachers picked up a point against Dunipace at Brownlands Park and that was enough to confirm their top four placing with two games remaining.

They currently sit third in the First Division and can no longer be caught by anyone currently outside of the promotion spots.

“I think promotion is an incredible achievement for the club,” Holden told the PA.

“You look at the big names and the resources they have. For us to do it, with two cups and Scottish Cup qualification, is quite an incredible year.

“Everyone at the club has played a part, committee, sponsors, the coaching team and the players deserve immense credit. Years like this don’t come round often.

“There are two games to go so we will recover now for Saturday and hopefully finish with two good performances.”

Reacting to the 2-2 draw with Dunipace - Ben Scarborough and Rhys Davies netted - Holden said: “Tonight was an end to end game.

“We scored a couple good goals, leading twice, but lost disappointing goals to let them back in.

“We missed several good ones to win it but we can’t be hard on the boys, they have given everything. Three months playing twice a week has been relentless but we got there.”
