Carluke Rovers promotion hopes end

CARLUKE Rovers’ promotion hopes have been ended by two Central Division 1 defeats in the past few days.

Rovers lost 3-2 at Blantyre last Wednesday night before crashing 1-0 at ‘home’ to leaders Bellshill on Saturday, in a game played at Tileworks Park in Stonehouse.

The Bellshill defeat came despite Carluke dominating large parts of the game. The only goal of the game was scored just before half-time when Bellshill scored after the ball had been flicked on from a corner.
