Craig Mitchell hits another hat-trick as Luncarty continue strong league start

Luncarty brushed aside Lochgelly Albert on Wednesday night - netting eight without reply.

Craig Mitchell bagged his second consecutive hat-trick while Scott Sutherland also celebrated a treble at Brownlands Park.

Chris Anton and Aaron Carlon completed the scoring to maintain the Bleachers’ 100 per cent winning start to the Conference B season.

“We came out of the traps early to put them under pressure,” said manager Robbie Holden.

“The first goal probably relaxed us a little bit and we finished the game comfortably in the second half.

“The clinical edge in the second half was pleasing. We had talked about that at half-time.

“The intensity of the football went up and there were some really good goals.

“And it was good to see a couple of the boys getting hat-tricks too.

“Craig Mitchell is making the runs to get beyond the strikers and things are falling for him at the minute. He’s in a rich vein of form.

“And then Scott Sutherland came off the bench to get his hat-trick.

“He started pre-season on fire the first couple of games and then his head maybe went down a little.

“But it was really pleasing for him on Wednesday and you could tell that everyone was delighted for him.”

Luncarty now welcome Lochore Welfare to Brownlands on Saturday.

“Five of the starting 11 on Wednesday basically had no pre-season, whether with COVID or work,” Holden added.

“It feels like we’re still trying to get up the match sharpness. So Saturday is another day to build the sharpness.

“Lochore will be up for it but we’re good to go and expecting another tough game.”
