Penicuik 2 Dalkeith 0 Penicuik: Bejaoui, Ross, McDermott, Cunnison, Young, Lister, Patterson, McPartlin, McCallum, Barr, Killin Subs: Knight, Roxburgh, Harrison, Dickson, Meikle Dalkeith: McQueen, Gavin, Burstow, Hunter, Liddle, Linton, Taylor, Devlin, Flynn, Murray McNaughton Subs: Lally, Haynes, Glynn, Young, Amos Referee: Mr P Hanlon Penicuik took on local rivals Dalkeith Thistle looking to make it three wins in a row and did so in style. Penicuik opened the scoring in 49 seconds when KILLIN turned three defenders to slot home. In the 5th minute a long ball was headed on by McCallum to Killin, but his strike was deflected inches wide of McQueen's right hand post for a corner. Minutes later, another dangerous cross into the box was headed by Patterson, but his effort crashed back off the crossbar and was cleared. In the 21st minute Dalkeith created a half chance, but Linton's strike was easily gathered by Bejaoui. Three minutes later, Penicuik saw a Barr strike finger tipped onto the cross bar by keeper McQueen and thumped clear. In the 38th minute Killin headed down a cross from the right wing to Barr, but his first time volley went wide of the target. Despite Penicuik's pressure and possession they were unable to add to their tally before half time. Half Time: Penicuik 1 Dalkeith 0 Four minutes into the half, Barr set up Killin, but his turn and shot flew high over the bar. In the 58th minute, an attack up the right wing by Penicuik saw Patterson send in a dangerous cross into the six yard box where keeper McQueen got a hand to the ball to deny McCallum. The deflection fell to Killin on the edge of the box, but his strike hit the side netting. On the hour, Dalkeith's full back Gavin was red carded by referee Hanlon for kicking McCallum. In the 68th minute Bejaoui, who had very little to do in the game, saw his throw out intercepted, but was relieved to see the shot on goal go well wide of the target. In the 72nd minute, another great chance fell to Penicuik, but McCallum's shot went high and wide of the goal. However, one minute later, Penicuik got the second goal they richly deserved when Knight and Lister combined well to allow Lister to send over an inch perfect cross from the left wing. PATTERSON headed the ball home into the far left top corner of the net. In the 76th minute, in a rare Dalkeith attack, substitute Hayes had a chance, but headed high over the bar. In the 87th minute, Penicuik attacked up the right wing from where Ross crossed the ball to the front post. McCallum nipped in to get his head to the ball, but his effort went narrowly past the upright. Right on full time, substitute Dickson had a half chance, but his shot sailed over the bar.
