Then a high ball was flicked over the head of keeper Gray by McCallum, but Kirk got back to clear the ball off the goal line. In the 31st minute Patterson set Gay free on the right and his low hard cross into the six yard box was turned into his own net by BANNON.

Immediately afterwards Cargill had a chance but failed to hit the target. In the 51st minute came the goal of the match when Gay intercepted a pass, drove forward and laid the ball off to McCallum on the right. He got to the bye line, looked up and crossed the ball into the penalty box where GAY, who had continued his run, bulleted a header past Gray into the net. Lochee continued to move the ball well, but failed to capitalize on the chances created. In the 60th minute, Connor's cross into the box was inches away from being headed home. The ball was knocked back in again, but poor finishing again saw the shot go wide of the target. Two minutes later, more pressure by Lochee saw three shots blocked and a fourth dragged wide of the post. In the 71st minute, Bejaoui pulled off a magnificent save to deny Gallacher. In the 80th minute, a high cross by substitute McDermott saw McCULLOCH out jump the keeper to head home for Penicuik's fifth.
