In this afternoon’s terrific match at Warout Stadium, James Murray put Glenrothes ahead on the hour mark but five minutes later Broughty deservedly restored parity through Iain MacLeod.
Shortly after the equaliser Bobby Brown had to go off.
The Glens went back into the lead through substitute John Martin but only a great finger-tip save by home keeper Jamie Roberts prevented Brian Craik’s great effort from giving the Fed a second equaliser.
That save proved to be a turning point. Instead of building on a 2-2 score-line Broughty frustratingly found themselves 3-1 down in the eighty-fifth minute when Jon Kelly scored what proved to be the winner.
“We add Bobby Brown and Barry Myles and that gives us a squad of eighteen for this Saturday's Premier League game against Glenrothes," stated Manager Kenny Cameron last night.
"Although pleased with many aspects of our game last week, I will be looking for us to cut out the careless errors which cost us.
“Glenrothes will be yet another tough test for us but as always we are very much looking forward to the challenge."
Match Arrangements:- The Broughty Athletic Team Management and the Committee will meet at WhittonPark at 11.45am. The players are asked to meet WhittonPark at 11.55am. The Minibus will leave at mid-day – sharp!

MATCH SUMMARY - CARNOUSTIE PANMURE 4 BROUGHTY ATHLETIC 0 - 28 AUGUST 2010
Broughty conceded a goal after just five minutes when keeper Alan Cormack, who looked certain to gather the ball, took too much time to deal with a through ball and the home side's Steven Cook nipped in to score in an empty net.
Carnoustie scored a second goal on half time when Kevin Cummings got too much time on the left and rolled the ball across to Josh Perera who scored from eight yards.
In the seventieth minute Scott Gates scored a third for the Laing Park team, from the penalty spot, after Robert Smith needlessly pushed Kevin Milne inside the box.
A fourth Carnoustie goal was scored by Kevin Milne after a poor defensive header fell to the striker who found the net from the edge of the box.

CANDID CAMERON - THE MANAGER'S VERDICT
After the Carnoustie match, Manager Kenny Cameron reflected on the need to consistently meet the demands of Premier League football each week.
"Full marks to Carnoustie who deserved the three points today.
“From our point of view I actually thought we played well for spells in the game today, but we need to realise quickly that at this level to get points we need to cut out poor defensive mistakes and to take the chances which fall our way at the other end, as we unfortunately found to our cost today."
Broughty suffered a second consecutive 4-0 defeat when the lost their Premier League match at Carnoustie this afternoon.
The home side went ahead after five minutes through Steven Cook and a minute from half-time recent Whitton Park departee Josh Perera doubled the lead.
Scott Gates converted a penalty in the seventieth minute and fourteen minutes later Kevin Milne completed the scoring.
“We played better today than we performed on Wednesday against West End but individual defensive mistakes and a failure take our chances cost us dear today,” stated Manager Kenny Cameron after the match. “That’s not to take anything away from Carnoustie, who were deserved winners.”

Manager Kenny Cameron reports that a squad of eighteen is available for the Carnoustie Panmure away Premier League fixture this Saturday.
"Both ourselves and Carnoustie got off to an excellent start last weekend in the league, and we realise that we will have to show the same sort of form which saw us win down there recently if we expect to get anything out of the game.
“It goes without saying that I will be looking for a positive reaction from my players after our poor midweek performance.”

MARK ANDERSON APPOINTED AS GOALKEEPING COACH
The Club has appointed a new goalkeeping coach.
“I am delighted to welcome Mark Anderson as our new goalkeeping coach, starting with immediate effect,” commented Manager Kenny Cameron.
"Ando knows the club well after his time spent here as a player and is a welcome addition to our backroom staff."
Mark Anderson joined Broughty Athletic in 2006, having previously played for Dundee FC, Arbroath FC, Montrose FC, Kirriemuir Thistle JFC, Arbroath Victoria JFC and Arbroath Sporting Club JFC.
During the 2007-08 season Mark played in eighteen matches, once as substitute, and had three clean sheets.
The following season he made five starts and two appearances from the bench.
On 21 June 2009 it was announced that Mark, who had been on loan to Kirriemuir Thistle since 25 January 2009, had decided to take time out concentrate on his work and was consequently leaving Broughty Athletic.
At the time it was stated that "Ando" would continue his goalkeeping duties with Arbroath FC youths. Less than a year later he makes a welcome return to Whitton Park in his new coaching role.
It’s Superleague side Forfar West End who go forward to the DJ Laing League Cup Final following their 4-0 win over Broughty Athletic tonight at Whitton Park.
West End’s opponents in the Final will be Tayport, who defeated Arbroath Vics by 3-1 in the other semi-final played at The Canniepairt.
At Whitton Park first half goals from Danny Casey and Brian Duell gave West End a two-goal lead at half-time. A second half penalty from Duell and a goal froom Andy MacDonald completed the scoring for the visitors.
Broughty Athletic had three players, Jamie Winter, Graeme Allan and Gavin Burns, sent off in the second half for second bookable offences.
"A poor performance" was Manager Kenny Cameron’s succinct post-match verdict.
Broughty Athletic likes to think of itself as a family club and the presence of the Cormack brothers in the playing squad for the last two seasons certainly added to that image. During the 2010 close season another family connection was made with the signing of a second member of the Broons.
Twenty-two year old keeper Darren Brown, aka Daz or Dazler, is of course the son of our own Bobby Dazzler and Darren’s profile has now been added to the Squad section.
24 Aug, 2010
WORK COMMITMENTS AFFECT SQUAD FOR SEMI-FINAL
“Due to work commitments we are reduced to a squad of sixteen for tomorrow night’s semi-final,” reports Manager Kenny Cameron.
It’s far from ideal but at this time of the year it’s an unavoidable situation. "Everyone is looking forward to the game" is the Manager’s typically upbeat message.
Arrangements:- The Broughty Athletic committee and the management team will meet at Whitton Park at 5pm. The players are asked to report to the ground at 5.15pm.
24 Aug, 2010
TWO MAIN SPONSORS CONFIRMED FOR 2010-11

HARD START TO NEW LEAGUE CAMPAIGN
Saturday 21 August 2010 Arniston's first league game of the new season ended in disappointment when they were taken apart by a competent home team.
Having held them to one goal lead in the first half, Arnie were completely out-played in the second with Michel rather unfairly sent off 15 minutes to go.
Only player to come out of the game with any credit was the Arniston keeper, without some of his fine saves the score could have been greater.

MATCH REPORT - BROUGHTY ATHLETIC 4 ARNISTON RANGERS 0 - 21 AUGUST 2010
Broughty began life in the Premier League yesterday with a tough opening fixture at Whitton Park against well fancied Arniston Rangers.
Manager Kenny Cameron made changes to the previous week's line up with Alan Cormack, Barry Myles, Lee Bertie, Iain MacLeod and Marc O'Leary replacing Darren Brown, Ben Etchells, Gavin Burns, Brian Craik and Bruce Raffell.
With both sides progressing to the semi final stages of their respective League Cup sections, they were both obviously in excellent form and a good match was anticipated. Although windy, the pitch was in good order for the game.
Broughty started the game well and created a chance in the fifth minute when a Winter cross narrowly failed to find MacLeod in the box.
The visitors were beginning to show their quality with some nice passages of play and carved out an opportunity in the tenth minute when Cropley found himself in space although his cross was over-hit and went harmlessly behind.
In a really lively opening spell O'Leary forced a good save from keeper Rachowski to gain a corner for Broughty.
Broughty began to see most of the possession and created two chances when first Dailly, then Winter, saw their efforts well saved by the visiting goalie.
Arniston did however look good on the break and a Coults header found Martin who forced an excellent save from Cormack in the Fed goal.
The home side really should have taken the lead in the twenty-fifth minute when O'Leary found space in the box but, with just the goalie to beat, he sent his shot just over the bar.
With Broughty pressing for the opener it came as no surprise when they opened their account for the afternoon in the fortieth minute, when Robert SMITH (pictured below) sent a cracking free kick high into the corner of the net which gave Rachowski no chance.
Half Time: Broughty Athletic 1 Arniston Rangers 0
The home side started the second half as they played the first and forced yet another fine save from Arniston goalie when O'Leary saw a shot from distance tipped around the post for a Broughty corner.
From the corner the ball broke to Dailly, who tried an overhead kick which fell straight to the goalie.
Broughty were beginning to dominate the game, passing the ball around well and creating chances.
Winter saw his twenty-five yard, net-bound shot brilliantly tipped around the post by Arniston man of the match Rachowski in the fifty-fifth minute.
The Fed were really putting the Arniston defence under pressure in search of the second and it eventually came in the sixtieth minute when a superb through ball from Winter found O'LEARY bursting through. He showed good strength to hold off a challenge before firing the ball into the net from just inside the box.
Myles saw a headed effort go just wide of the target minutes later then Farquharson had a fine shot again brilliantly saved by the Arniston goalie.
The home side's third goal came via the penalty spot in the seventieth minute of play. The linesman drew Referee McGeachie's attention to an incident inside the box involving Oplika and Dailly. The referee immediately pointed to the spot and ordered off centre half Opilka. SMITH made no mistake with the resultant kick.
Broughty were in complete control of the game at this point and it came as no surprise when they increased their lead in the seventy-fifth minute when WINTER showed great determination to break through and fire the ball into the corner of the net.
Arniston were thereafter rarely seen as an attacking force and Broughty comfortably saw out the remaining minutes to record an excellent three points in their opening game of the Premier League after a fine performance against a highly regarded Arniston outfit.
A full turn out of players, committee and management and their respective families attended a barbeque held at WhittonPark after yesterday’s match with Arniston Rangers.
With the bonus of excellent weather, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves, especially the kids who had a great time playing football on the park.
“Many thanks to Gordon Deuchars, and his wife Susan, for organising the event from everyone at the Club,” said a BAFC spokesman. “Their efforts were much appreciated by all who were present.”
