Today's B league match result:
Maroons 6
Newmains United 1
The Maroons delivered a comprehensive and confident victory this morning at Stirling University, overcoming a well‑organised Newmains side with quality, patience, and a ruthless second‑half display.
After a bright opening spell where the boys dominated possession, the breakthrough arrived on 20 minutes, Rory rising well to head home a pinpoint cross from Matthew. Ten minutes later it was our Trialist who doubled the lead, finishing calmly after excellent link‑up play from Sam L.
Five minutes before the interval, Newmains produced a superb individual goal to pull one back, sending us into half‑time at 2–1.
The message at the break was simple: increase the tempo and workrate. Despite the hot conditions, the boys responded exactly as asked.
Within three minutes of the restart, Craig unleashed a strike from distance to make it 3–1, and he repeated the trick on 52 minutes to put the game beyond doubt at 4–1. On the hour mark, Ray was clattered in the box and Matthew stepped up to thunder home the resulting penalty for 5–1.
From there, the boys created a series of excellent chances and if not for two or three acrobatic goal‑line clearances by Newmains, the scoreline would have been more emphatic. The icing on the cake came on 70 minutes, when Ray finished decisively to round off a dominant 6–1 victory.
A strong, disciplined performance across the pitch, with every player contributing in demanding conditions 👌

Congratulations lads! 🩵♥️
