Half Time: Coldstream 1 Penicuik 3 Into   the   second   half   and   McCrory-Irving   had   a   half   chance,   but   his   effort   went   a   yard   wide   of   the   target.   In   the   61st   minute, Coldstream   came   close   with   a   free   kick   that   struck   the   upright   and   away   for   a   goal   kick.   Immediately   afterwards,   Streamers’ keeper   Turnbull   pulled   off   two   top   drawer   saves   in   the   space   of   a   minute   to   keep   the   score   at   1-3.   With   seven   minutes remaining,   goal   scorer   Connolly   saw   his   long   range   strike   go   narrowly   wide   of   the   left   hand   post. Two   minutes   into   injury   time, following   a   corner   to   Coldstream,   a   powerful   strike   from   outside   the   box   was   hooked   off   the   line   by   Young   and   the   danger cleared. A satisfying night’s work by Penicuik to keep their title ambitions on track. Final Score: Coldstream 1 Penicuik 3
