Lochalsh 3-5 NWS
Another close run game in Kyle as Lochalsh are defeated by a classy, well drilled North West Skye F.C.
An even start, where both teams could have gone ahead, that was full of excitement showed that it would be an entertaining game. NWS went ahead after they pounced on a Lochalsh goal kick and coolly finished to open the scoring. A free kick on the edge of the box was placed into the top corner shortly afterwards to make it 0-2. Cameron Godfrey, starting for the first time on the sawdust, got on the end of a tussle at the edge of the box to creep the ball in under the NWS keeper, to make it 1-2 at half time.
The second half started with some fire in the Lochalsh team and Duncan Matheson scored a left footed half volley, from the edge of the box, into the side netting to make it 2-2. NWS would score 2 more shortly after from some nice set piece corners, a running theme for lochalsh this season. The game was far from over, and Lochalsh rallied again, with new debutant Ahmed Zaheer using his brilliant footwork to twist and turn and slam the ball under the NWS keeper. The rest of the game was equally contested, but NWS pressed on and scored right at the end to make it 3-5.
Overall another good display from Lochalsh, playing against one of the best teams in the league and holding their own right up until the end. Thanks to NWS for their sportsmanship and to Norman for refereeing, an entertaining game for certain!
