Cumbernauld Colts: 2
Carbrain: (Sky): 1
A good win for the boys tonight against a stuffy Carbrain team who had 4 trialists from Airdrie Pumas playing that recently folded.
The boys started ok and soon had Carbrain on the back foot , but after a couple of decent chances we fell behind after a mix up at the back.
The boys took 5 mins to recover, but after that we started to dominate possession without creating a lot of clear cut chances. Danyl then had a free kick from 35 yards, which he smashed high into the net.
1-1 at halftime, but the boys knew if they kept passing the ball quick they would eventually score again.
The 2nd period was again played in the Carbrain half and 10mins into the half Luke came on as a sub and scored after beating 2 players in the box and calmly passed beyond the goalie.
Further chances for the boys came and went and as the game went on & Carbrain were having the odd breakaway.
A great save for Gareth with a minute to go kept the boys 2-1 up, which was thoroughly deserved.
A tense finish, but a good win for the team considering the standard of the trialists playing in the match.
Goals: Danyl and Luke
Man of the match: Alfie
