Kincorth Eagles 3-1 Insch
Kincorth welcomed the visitors to the field for a repeat of last season's opening fixture, with the home side determined to reverse the previous outcome.
In a tightly contested opening, there was little goalmouth action, though Kincorth looked the most likely to create. Despite this, the visitors remained a constant threat with balls played over the top. The home side opened the scoring after Ryan played a dangerous ball into the box from a corner; Aiden continued his brilliant pre-season form by firing home, unmarked in the six-yard box.
Insch tied things up just before halftime after KC failed to deal with a long ball. The striker raced through and left Cody with no chance, evening the score.
Halftime 1-1
The second half began with Kincorth looking more likely to score, but the final ball let them down on several occasions. When shooting chances did open up, Insch defended the box well and managed to clear.
In an otherwise quiet half for Heath, he was called into action to keep the score level with a good save after Insch created a dangerous opening.
With time running out for a winner, the home team regained the lead with a well-worked goal. Ryan found himself in a bit of space out wide and played the ball through to James following a well-timed run from midfield. The skipper slotted the ball home with a great finish.
With the visitors pushing for a late equaliser, Ryan found himself clear after some more great play down the wing. The Insch keeper saved well to prevent a tap-in from Dylan B, but Liam was on hand to finish clinically and put the game beyond doubt.
In the end, it was a well-deserved win for the Eagles. We wish Insch all the best for the rest of the season.
MOTM - Dylan B
