Caledonian Team's Match Report
Balmore 0 v EKYM 3
Saturday 31st October 2009, League
This was the only Caledonian Premier
League fixture to beat the weather on Saturday and although the
playing surface at Stonehouse was heavy it was playable.
Balmore keeper Fisher, was in fine form
making several excellent saves as YM dominated the early proceedings
and luck was on his side when Stephen Woods broke clear only to see
his effort beat the keeper but come crashing back off the crossbar.
YM needed to score while they had so much
possession but it took till the half hour mark to do so. Greg Hannah
won a tackle outside the penalty area, sent the ball wide to Martyn
McLaughlin whose cross was headed into the net at the far post by
Stuart Bovill.
Balmore tried to respond but YM repelled
their attacks and held on to their first half lead.
The pattern of play was similar in the
second half with YM having more of the play than their opponents.
Luck deserted Balmore keeper Fisher in the
second half as a poor kick out from him landed at the feet of Y.M's
David Thomson who wasted no time in shooting low into the corner of
the net doubling Y.M's advantage. Thommo then showed his
versatility going back to centre half along with Greg who swept
behind him as YM veteran Wadey had torn his nylons and had to come
off. Near the end of the match a left wing run from Martyn
McLaughlin brought about the third goal when his searing low shot
was parried by the keeper and although he pushed the ball away from
goal it hit off a defender rushing back towards goal and ended up in
the net. Pelo had the cheek to claim the goal and a sympathetic
official gave it to him!!!
This Saturday YM play Doune Castle in a
league match at the John Wright kick off 2.00pm
