The score was not a fair reflection on this game, as the difference was the home team taking their chances and us not capitalising on ours! Boghall’s first came from a deflected free kick in the 22nd minute: their second came from a lovely swivel, turn and volley from a corner, after we had been threatening to equalize with a few good moves. Then, when we failed to clear our lines from another set-piece with 15 minutes remaining, the third was poked in.

Despite Richie Hannify’s heroics with a number of outstanding saves, Boghall Rovers’ more direct approach paid dividends, as they banged in two goals in quick succession with just 15 minutes remaining, before adding a third with the last kick of the game.
