Penicuik
travelled
to
meet
Dunbar
in
a
competitive
fixture
for
the
first
time
in
six
years
looking
to
make
it
eleven
wins
out
of
eleven
in
a
Conference
A
against
a
home
side
with
Top
5
ambitions.
At
a
dreich
New
Countess
Park
Manager
Milne
made
just
one
change
from
the
4-0
win
over
Newtongrange
Star
as
Sproule
replaced
Caddow
at
full
back.
The
visitors
started
quickly
with
only
the
threat
of
the
long
ball
and
the
pace
of
Ballantyne
and
Handling
giving
Dunbar
any
early
escape
from
the
pressure
and
after
Ryan
Baptie
rattled
the
upright
from
a
free
kick
in
the
14th
minute
and
saw
the
rebound
netted
by
Kateleza
but
ruled
out
for
offside
it
only
took
the
visitors
another
five
minutes
to
go
in
front
as
that
man
MCINTOSH
made
it
25
for
the
season
as
he
pounced
at
a
corner
to
fire
home
a
loose
ball.
Penicuik
were
dominating
possession
and
in
the
24th
minute
a
great
passing
move
down
the
left
saw
McIntosh
just
fail
to
apply
the
finishing
touch
to
McCrory-Irving’s
cross.
A
minute
later
Baptie’s
fee
kick
was
blocked
by
the
wall
and
McCrory-Irving
fed
Kateleza
who
saw
his
shot
blocked
for
another
corner.
Just
before
the
half
hour
mark
a
superb
Young
past
found
McIntosh
one
on
one
with
the
keeper
but
Johnstone
pulled
off
a
great
save
to
thwart
the
striker.
The
31st
minute
saw
a
Page
header
from
a
corner
blocked
on
the
line
and
an
offside
decision
denied
Kateleza
six
minutes
later.
However,
the
visitors
weren’t
to
be
denied
and
two
minutes
before
half
time
KATELEZA
picked
up
a
loose
ball
from
a
corner,
skipped
past
a
Dunbar
challenge and fired low into the net past Johnstone.
Half Time: Dunbar 0 Penicuik 2
There
was
a
frantic
start
to
the
second
half
with
tackles
going
unpunished
as
Dunbar
attempted
to
get
back
in
the
match
and
with
55
minutes
gone
they
forced
Cordery
into
his
first
real
action
of
the
match
as
he
saved
from
a
Harley
header.
After
a
flurry
of
substitutions
on
the
hour
mark
Penicuik
created
again
as
Jones
saw
his
shot
well
saved
by
Johnstone
after
been
set
up
by
Crabbe.
The
visitors
went
three
up
in
the
69th
minute
as
a
Baptie
free
kick
ended
up
in
the
top
corner
net
aided
by
a
deflection
off
HANDLING’S
head
for
an
own
goal.
With
just
over
ten
minutes
left
McCrory-Irving
had
two
efforts
on
goal
saved
by
Johnstone
before
the
home
side
had
their
only
real
spell
of
attacking
pressure
as
Cordery
saved
from
McCraw
and
Young
but
there
was
time
left
for
CRABBE
to
get
his
first
Penicuik
goal
with
three
minutes
left
as
he
controlled a ball into the box and slotted it over the onrushing keeper.
