Camelon 0 Penicuik 1
Before the game kicked off a minutes silence was observed in memory of Chapecoense Real. The game started evenly with
both sides probing for weaknesses in defence and the first threat on gaol came when a Lough strike was deflected over the
crossbar. In the 22nd minute Walton broke down the left for the home side, slipped the ball to Donaldson, who returned the ball
to Walton but his effort went well wide of the goal. Three minutes later, a free kick to the Mariners was blasted high over the bar
by Sneddon. On the half hour, Forbes picked up a loose Camelon pass, drove forward, picked out McCallum whose deft flick
saw K SCOTT dispossess Benton and slot the ball into the far corner of the net for the only goal of the game. Just before half
time, following s sustained spell of Penicuik pressure, Penicuik had a chance to double their lead, but McCallum got his head to
a deep Connolly cross, but couldn’t guide the ball on target.
Camelon 0 Penicuik 1
From the restart, Camelon upped the pace of their game and in the 50th minute Allison set up Taylor who was brought down just
outside the box by McKenzie who was booked for the foul. However, Camelon failed to capitalise on the free kick. Shortly
afterwards, only a timely intervention by Mitchell denied Lough at the back post. At the other end, a Camelon free kick clipped
the top of the crossbar and over for a goal kick. Play immediately swung to the other end and keeper Kane did well to get down
and save a Barr strike. In the 70th minute, with Camelon piling on the pressure, a corner kick was only partially cleared, and the
return cross to the back post was headed past by McKenzie for another corner kick. However, Penicuik defended the corner
well and then danger was cleared. In the 80th minute, keeper Bejaoui had to make his first save of the game comfortable
gathering a Sneddon strike. In the 90th minute, a clever Somerville lob beat keeper Kane but the ball took a hard bounce and hit
the crossbar. One minute later, substitute Sproule latched on to a long free kick to Penicuik, lobbed Kane, but the ball went wide
of the upright. Three minutes into injury time, Lough had a great chance to double Penicuik’s advantage, but his effort went well
wide of the target.
