What looked on paper to be a hard game for YM proved the case when they travelled to Knightswood to take on an Erskine Bridge team who had won their last four games on the trot.

It was a makeshift YM team as their goalkeeper and centre half were playing for the first team in Stirling but they produced the better chances in the early stages with Foley and Taylor causing problems for the home defence.  Against the run of play Erskine opened the scoring in the 18th minute when their forward pounced as the ball broke in the box to place his shot into the bottom right hand corner of the net giving makeshift keeper Billy Hamilton no chance.

Within 5 minutes the game was level when Taylor pounced on a ball played along the edge of the box by an Erskine defender.  He beat one player before lashing his shot low into the left hand corner of the goals.  The match was played at a hectic pace and chances were being made at both ends of the pitch but the home side took the lead again after some poor defending. 

After half time YM were awarded a penalty as Foley was tripped as he was about to shoot for goal.  The Erskine defender was sent off for dissent as he disputed the spot kick which Dawson coolly dispatched.

YM then switched off and it was 10 man Erskine who forced the game and after a poor clearance they scored to make it 3-2.  YM threw on their subs and pressed the game to get the equaliser which cam with 2 minutes remaining.  Billy Robertson collected the ball on the left and beat the defender before squaring to Graeme Robertson snr who slipped the ball past the lunging defender before placing his shot low into the net. 

YM were camped in the Erskine penalty box for the remainder of the game but could not get the elusive winner.
