With East Kilbride Y.M's Caledonian League side's game being abandoned due to the weather a healthy support turned up at Kirktonholme on Saturday (29/08/2009) to watch the Scottish Amateur team take on Erskine Bridge.

 

YM were riding high after 5 straight wins in a row but did not punish the visitors with efforts from Foley and McGuire being well saved by the keeper.  Whilst YM's man of the match Gary Semple put in an excellent performance the same could not be said of the rest of the team who seemed to struggle to get the ball down and play football. 

 

After half time YM did take the lead after a 'soft' penalty was awarded against Erskine when the referee adjudged McAneny had been bundled over in the penalty box.  YM's captain Willie Dawson stepped up to slot the ball home for a lead that was probably deserved on possession alone.

 

For the remainder of the game YM huffed and puffed but failed to make any impact until 5 minutes to go when Taylor won the ball on the bye line and cut back to fire a low shot beyond the keeper to make the score 2-0.  Two minutes later YM scored the final goal of the game when Billy Robertson was put through on the keeper and slid his shot into the bottom left hand corner of the net.
