⚽️ Goalscorers ⚽️ - Mitchell (3), Pittendreigh (1), Smith (1), Moore (1), Phillips (1)
Kirrie Sundays looked to finally earn their first three points in the league as they faced opponents Anchor Athletic at home. The pair faced off a little over a month ago in cup action with Kirrie coming out victorious with a 4-2 win. Since then, Kirrie’s luck has been all but great.
The match started and Kirrie set off well with a few good chances. Strikers Mitchell and Smith found themselves in good areas and tested the waters early doors but unfortunately no goals to match.
It was defender Pittendreigh who would open the scoring for Kirrie. A darting run up the right side seen him play a one-two pass with winger Smith and with his first attempt saved, the rebound fell straight to him and finished the second time of asking. 1-0.
The second goal for the home side came just five minutes after. Mitchell ran onto a pass played into the left channel, crossed low along the six yard line and his strike partner Smith was there to finish it off. 2-0.
Anchor would create a few chances throughout the half with set pieces and managed to pull a goal back from one. A long throw into the box was met first by their striker who headed the ball into the roof of the net. 2-1.
A third goal was added to Kirrie’s tally before the end of the first half. A corner whipped in from Jessiman was failed to clear and early substitute Moore did well to meet the ball first and drilled low into the goal. 3-1.
The match resumed for the second half and from there onwards, Kirrie ran riot on their opponents. Mitchell, who was having somewhat of a tough afternoon, eventually earned his first goal of the match. A threaded pass through the midfield met his path, went around the keeper and passed the ball into the back of the net. 4-1.
The fifth goal for Kirrie and second for Mitchell came just 5 minutes after. A pass from Moore bypassed two defenders and this time the striker wellied the ball into the roof of the net. 5-1.
With more substitutions made throughout the half, each player continuously worked hard for the team and our final two goals of the game came within the last ten minutes. Thomson’s header spilled from a corner and Phillips gambled correctly to get there first to finish. 6-1.
The last goal, a hattrick for Mitchell. As Kirrie’s pressure had Anchor pinned right into their box, the ball failed to clear and was eventually finished low under the goalkeeper by the striker. 7-1.
A fantastic way to bounce back from the last couple of bad games that’s been displayed in recent weeks. Thanks go to Anchor for the game and we wish them the very best for the remainder of the season.
