Penicuik opened the scoring in the 4th minute when a superb Yancyzk pass set Montgomery free on the left and his first time
cross was blasted home by LOUGH. In the 11th minute a cross by Lough was just missed by Somerville and keeper Wallace
gathered. One minute later Montgomery set up SOMERVILLE who slotted past Wallace to double Penicuik’s lead. At the other
end a Broxburn free kick sailed over the bar. Then, a powerful header by Young off a corner kick brought out a top drawer save
by Wallace. Broxburn broke quickly from defence and only excellent defending by Noble saved the day for Penicuik.
Immediately afterwards, Anderson had an excellent chance for the visitors, but Bejaoui denied the winger with a great save.
Then McCallum had a chance for Penicuik but he blasted his shot high and wide of the target. On the half hour, a Jancyzk
corner kick was punched clear by Wallace, Barr fed the ball to McCallum who crossed the ball to the back post YOUNG rose
above the defence to head home Penicuik’s third. In the 39th minute, Broxburn pulled one back when DONNELLY volleyed
home at the second attempt after Bejaoui had blocked his first strike. However, Penicuik restored their three goal lead when
Sproule ran forty yards to outpace the defence and his inch perfect cross into the box left SOMERVILLE a simple tap in to make
it 4-1. Broxburn should have scored seconds later, but a last gasp tackle by Noble again saved the home side.
Half time: Penicuik 4 Broxburn 1
Two minutes into the second half and Broxburn broke from defence and ANDERSON got past the Penicuik defence to slot the
ball past Bejaoui to reduce the deficit. At the other end, keeper Wallace was at full stretch to tip a Montgomery strike round the
post. Once again Penicuik retaliated with a swift goal when HUME, unmarked in the box, headed home a corner kick. In the
59th minute, Bejaoui had to rush from goal to dive at the feet of Miller and smother the ball. Two minutes later, Somerville
blasted the ball high over the bar when set up by Sproule. Shortly afterwards, substitute Connolly also blasted high over the bar.
In their next attack, Somerville’s diving header went narrowly past the post. In the 70th minute, Broxburn completed the scoring
when, following a free kick on the left, the ball fell to substitute RICHARDS who volleyed home from close range. Two minutes
later, Sproule was denied by keeper Wallace who blocked the winger’s strike. Then Bejaoui was called into action to get finger
tips to a Locke strike before the danger was cleared. The visitors had one final chance, but the strike flew high over the bar.
