Winning all the way

Posted on Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Three wins for our three teams today.

The 1st XI recorded a comfortable 2 – 0 win at Peffermill against Edinburgh University today.  Nicky Walker opened the scoring in the third minute when put through but Donal Henretty.  Keith McLeod then scored from the spot in the 20th minute after Omar Kader was tripped.  We played well in the first half but the Uni were much stronger in the second half and we created fewer chances.  With Whitehill and Dalbeattie shring the points it gave us the chance to close the gap at the top of the league.  Team: Flockhart, Archibald, Gerrard, Fowlie, Kader (Preston 67), King (Hair 80), Malin, Henretty, McLeod (Etale 80), Walker, O’Donnel Subs not used: Hoskins, Opilka 

The 2nd XI made it nine wins out of nine at the top of the league.  Keith Boyes opened the scoring from the left back position before Nick Reid notched a brace, one from the spot.  Not a great performance but another three points.  Team: Paterek, Young, Boyes, Steele, Burns, Mitchell (Bunyon), Scott (Cartwright), Bannon, Moffat, Reid, Perry (Zuk) Subs not used: Sutherland, Harris.

The 3rd XI won 3 – 0 in the fourth round of the Logan Cup with second half goals from Finlay Clark, Gareth Rigby and an excellent volley from Steve Malin.  The game was petering out when Ross Hutchison put over a pinpoint cross from the right and Steve cut in from his wide left position to bullet a volley into the top corner.
