[9th May] Away vs Immanuel

Scotch B's 1 - 1 Immanuel B's Goal(s): Mike   After a much improved performance last week, the Scotchie boys were keen to record their first win of the season. A fairly even first half was marred by a defensive lapse which saw Immanuel take the lead. Half-time saw Mike and Chan introduced and they had an immediate impact. Throughout the second half we dominated, with several good chances going begging. Finally a great effort from Chan crashed off the bar and bounced to Mike at the edge of the box. Mike calmly lobbed the keeper at his far post, leveling the score. Immanuel hardly got a look in the second half and were very fortunate not to concede another as the Scotchies finished very strongly. A great performance boys, one that should give everyone lots of confidence heading into next week!   Best: 3 Mike, 2 Chan, 1 Paul   Scotch A's 7 - 0 Immanuel A's Goal(s): Chris (2), Andy (2), Ferg, Mike, Quinny   After seeing the B’s finish the game on top, we were keen to get our first win of the season. The first half was fairly even, with scant chances at either end. Our first goal came from a long throw from Matty L which Chris managed to flick back over the keeper. 1-0 at the break. An injury to Jack saw the long awaited return of Captain “Deflection” Ferguson, with Rooney coming off for Mike. The second half started well for the Scotchies and the Immanuel defence looked very ragged. Several well taken goals including a double for Timmy and a clinical finish by Mike to give him his second for the day, put the game out of the home sides reach. It was great to have a near full strength squad to choose from for a change and this was shown by the end result. Full credit to Al in goals who gave us our first clean sheet of the season and to Matty L and Andy T who were great down both of the wings. Best: 3 Chris, 2 Timmy, 1 Dunsy, 1 Eirik
