Straight
from
the
kick
off
Penicuik
attacked
down
the
left
but
Baptie’s
cross
was
headed
inches
past
the
post
by
McIntosh.
However
nine
minutes
later,
McINTOSH
made
no
mistake
when
he
stroked
the
ball
home
from
close
range
after
good
work
by
Young,
Kateleza
and
Baptie.
In
the
20th
minute,
Kateleza
split
the
Easthouses
defence
with
a
perfectly
weighted
pass
and
McINTOSH
pounced
to
squeeze
the
ball
past
Hay.
Two
minutes
later,
Ponton
saw
his
effort
go
narrowly
wide
of
the
target.
On
the
half
hour,
keeper
Hay
had
to
be
on
his
toes
to
cut
out
a
low
Ponton
cross.
Penicuik’s
pressure
was
constant,
and
MacDonald
had
a
go
from
twenty
yards
but
his
strike
flew
high
over
the
bar.
Just
before
half
time,
a
training
ground
corner
kick
saw
McCrory-Irving
lay
the
corner
kick
to
the
edge
of
the
box,
Forbes
ran
in
and
drilled
the
ball
low
and
hard,
but
Hay
pulled
off
an
excellent
one
handed
save
to
deny
the
full
back.
With
seconds
to
go
before
half
time,
a
lightning
break
from
defence
by
Penicuik
sat
Ponton
free
on
the
left.
He
cut
the
ball
back
to
McIntosh
who
should
have
completed his hat trick, but somehow he blasted the ball over the crossbar.
Half Time: Penicuik2 Easthouses 0
Eight
minutes
into
the
second
half
and
Penicuik
were
again
dominating
play
and
piling
on
the
pressure.
Then
a
long
range
effort
by
MacDonald
flashed
inches
over
the
bar.
Immediately
afterwards,
a
powerful
strike
by
Kateleza
was
brilliantly
turned
away
by
keeper
Hay
for
a
corner.
On
the
hour
mark,
with
the
visitor’s
defence
reeling,
a
clever
one
two
between
Sproule
and
Kateleza
inside
the
penalty
are
saw
KATELEZA
smash
the
ball
into
the
net
to
make
it
3-0.
Three
minutes
later,
the
game
was
put
to
bed
when
BAPTIE
curled
a
free
kick
from
twenty
yards,
over
keeper
Hay
and
into
the
top
corner
of
the
net.
In
the
78th
minute,
a
rare
Easthouses
attack
saw
Shearer
let
fly,
but
his
shot
was
deflected
narrow
past
for
a
corner
kick.
Minutes
later,
the
same
player
saw
his
effort
finger
tipped
away
by
keeper
Cordery
for
another
corner
kick,
but
Penicuik
defended
well
and
immediately
went
on
the
attack.
Forbes
broke
up
the
right
wing
and
crossed
the ball into the box. Somerville rose above the defence, but his header skimmed the crossbar.
Final score: Penicuik 4 Easthouses 0
