Half Time: Kinnoull 0 Penicuik 1 Three   minutes   into   the   half   and Tansey,   who   was   still   suffering   from   the   Hughes   foul,   made   way   for   Somerville.   In   the   55th minute,   a   slick   interchange   between   McCrory-Irving   and   Jones   set   up   Jones,   but   keeper   Osinski   pulled   off   a   superb   save to   deny   the   midfielder.   Penicuik   made   further   substitutions   to   freshen   up   the   side   with   Ponton   coming   on   for   Forbes   and Watson   for   Connolly.   Then,   following   a   corner   to   Penicuik,   substitute   Somerville’s   glancing   header   went   narrowly   past   the upright.   In   the   83rd   minute,   Penicuik,   having   used   all   three   substitutes,   went   down   to   ten   men.   Goal   scorer   Stewart   was tackled   by   Brown   on   the   right   wing.   Both   players   went   down   heavily   and   Stewart   took   no   further   part   in   the   game, suffering   a   broken   collar   bone.   Despite   losing   Stewart,   ten   man   Penicuik   managed   the   remainder   of   the   game   comfortably and in injury time, McCrory-Irving came close with a powerful first time volley off a Kateleza cross.
