Immediately   afterwards   a   free   kick   to   Penicuik   was   headed   narrowly   wide   by   Forbes.   Then   a   long   rang   effort   by   Cargill went   wide   of   the   target.   Penicuik   took   the   lead   in   the   12th   minute   when   Tansey   got   round   the   back   of   the   home   defence, cut   the   ball   back   to   Sam   JONES   who   had   an   easy   tap   in.   Shortly   afterwards,   a   long   range   strike   by   Tansey   was   well   held by   keeper   Lennox.   With   Penicuik   in   charge,   Tansey   sent   over   a   testing   cross   into   the   box   but   with   Stewart   rushing   in   to head   home,   Lennox   came   to   the   rescue   to   cut   out   the   cross. Then   a   slick   passing   move   by   Penicuik   was   rounded   off   with a   powerful   Tansey   shot,   but   again   Lennox   came   to   the   rescue   with   a   great   one   handed   save.   Dundonald   relied   on   the long ball, but the Penicuik defence dealt with each and every one thrown at them. Half Time: Dundonald 0 Penicuik 1 Penicuik   doubled   their   lead   in   the   53rd   minute   when   a   wicked   Baptie   free   kick   was   headed   home   by   Sean   STEWART   at the   front   post.   On   the   hour   mark,   a   Baptie   corner   went   all   the   way   to   Forbes   at   the   back   post   but   his   cut   back   missed everyone   before   the   Baptie   fired   high   over   the   bar.   Five   minutes   later,   a   ball   was   fizzed   into Tansey   and   he   did   well   to   turn his   man   but   his   strike   went   just   wide   of   the   post.   Penicuik   added   a   third   in   the   68th   minute   when   Stewart   beat   his   man   and cut   the   ball   back   for   Arran   PONTON   to   smash   home   the   third,   low   into   the   bottom   corner.   Penicuik   seemed   to   ease   off after    the    third    goal    and    Dundonald    came    back    into    the    game    pulling    a    goal    back    in    73rd    minute    through    Ross DRUMMOND .   Three   minutes   later,   the   home   side   got   it   back   to   2-3   when   Michael   NESS   slammed   the   ball   past   Watt ensuring   an   interesting   last   quarter   of   an   hour.   In   the   78th   minute,   Watt   did   well,   diving   low   down   to   his   left   to   save. Penicuik saw out the remaining minutes comfortably. Final Score: Dundonald 2 Penicuik 3
