Fridays Match Report
We travelled to Falkland on what looked like a lovely evening for a game of football in a fantastic location. Once out in the warm up we discovered very quickly that the wind could cause some issues for both teams as the word ‘Blustery’ comes to mind.
We started to match with the wind with us and after a very quick start we won a few corners and on the second corner Anton Brown whipped in an incredible corner to which Craig Innes rose well to bullet his header into the top corner, 1-0 after 4mins. (Footage below)
After this we got sucked into trying to play long through balls which isn’t our style and majority of the time ran onto the keeper or way out of play. David Quinn did have an effort but he was stretching and was a comfortable save for the keeper.
On 20 mins we lost our captain Anton Brown to injury and with no defenders on the bench we had to jiggle a few things about.
On 28 mins, Falkland equalised. Slavk passing in midfield allowed the Falkland player to hit a strike from edge of the box into the bottom right hand corner. 1-1
Falkland then had another 2 good chances, one skiffing the bar and the other the attacker rushed his shot and went wide.
HT: 1-1
The second half shooting into the wind we felt we might get more joy in this half but frustrating this wasn’t to be the case. Although the effort and determination was there for all to see we just couldn’t get going at all and the game became very scrappy at times with not much good football on show. On 70 mins we did create one chance of note where a neat one two played Del Mathieson in and from wide left he fired a drive towards goal but unfortunately it went just over the bar.
On 75 mins Falkland got their second of the night which from our point of view could’ve been dealt with better.
The last 15 mins was uneventful with only a slight half chance fell to Kev Craik but his effort flew wide of the post.
FT - 2-1 to Falkland, who secured there first 3 points of the league cup campaign and who now top the group. (League Table below)
