BrIAN KENNY Testimonial
28TH NOVEMBER 2004
 |
Brian
Kenny played 500 games for Hill Of Beath Hawthorn and scored 55 goals. His
honours list with the Haws is like many who played with him throughout the
1990's, very impressive. 6 Fife League Championship medals in 89,
94, 95, 96, 98 & 2000, a Scottish Cup winners medal in 1990 and both
the Fife & Lothians Cup and Fife & Tayside Cup in 1996. There are
numerous other local cup winners medals and invitation tournament prizes
also logged under the Brian Kenny roll of honour. |
| As
a mark of respect, and in order to honour Brian's contribution to the Haws
over his 15 year spell, a Testimonial match against a Celtic Select was
held on 28th November 2004. |
|
The
'Haws' select that appeared to honour Brian included former 'famous-five'
team-mates David Westwood, John Mitchell, Bruce Deas and Russell Brebner.
Other former Haws favourites who turned out were Bobby Wilson, Willie Syme,
Alan Archibald, Steve McInroy and James 'Nobby' McNab. Their opponents
were Celtic U19's with Head of Youth Development and Scotland manager
Tommy Burns marshalling them throughout the ninety minutes.
The
match ended in a creditable 2 - 2 draw.
