Marcus Millar has joined Pumpherston on loan to give him some game time .We hope he does well at our neighbours as they push for promotion from the south league .

A share of the points kept Penicuik on their unbeaten run .They opened the scoring with two goals from Stephen Scott on 4 and 32 minutes before Ross Nimmo scored a stunner before half time to give his side a chance .They took that chance with an equaliser 3 minutes into the second half through Alexander Miller with Scott Richards putting The Burn in front just after the hour mark . Penicuik got the equaliser on 89 minutes when Darrell Young headed home a corner to deal a hammer blow to the hosts . (full report in matches on website )
