North Kelvin 2โ3 Forth & Kerse
Kitman Dave to the rescue!
Today we travelled through to Glasgow Green to face a North Kelvin side in fine form. Both teams had just one substitute, and right from the off it was a fiery contest. The opening half-hour was frantic, with neither side able to settle into rhythm.
On 35 minutes, Callum Hutchinson picked out Paul OโHara with a quarterback-style diagonal pass. OโHara cut it back for Keir Esson, who smashed home emphatically to make it 1โ0 โ one of our finest goals of the season so far.
We went into the break with the lead and started the second half on the front foot. Gibber, filling in at left back, unleashed a thunderous 25-yard volley that forced the keeper into a save. OโHara was quickest to react, slotting in the rebound to double our advantage.
Moments later OโHara had the chance to put the game to bed, but couldnโt quite convert. North Kelvin, to their credit, kept battling and showed their quality with two quickfire goals to level the game.
With just five minutes left, Gibber whipped in a teasing cross, met first-time on the volley by none other than kitman Dave. The net bulged, the boys erupted, and Davo pulled out a world-class knee slide to celebrate a moment heโll never forget.
The final minutes were tense. Kerr threw himself into a last-ditch tackle, Gibber picked up a booking for time-wasting, and we cleared our lines more than once before the referee finally blew for full time.
A huge 3โ2 win given the players we had available, and another step forward as momentum builds. Next up: a trip to Dundee to face Riverside Athletic in the second round of the Scottish Cup.
Up the FK!
