Harthill Royal boss David Carmichael acknowledged his side expected a challenging second-half performance from Stoneyburn at what was a blustery Gibbshill Park on Saturday, writes Callum McCormack.
Harthill were perhaps unfortunate not to have made more of their first-half chances before succumbing to four second half goals as they fell to a 4-0 defeat in the East of Scotland Division Three clash.
He said: "We're disappointed, in the first-half we were creating chances and the defence was secure. However, if you don't score you know you're going to face a difficult second-half against the wind, which we did.”
