Penicuik got off to the best start possible opening the scoring in the 2nd minute when Keith Lough headed on a Hume
clearance to Aaron SOMERVILLE who outpaced Drummond to slot home. One minute later, Penicuik sighed with relief
as a Lawrie strike hit the side netting. With Dundonald pressing hard, Bald pulled off a great save and then tipped the ball
away off the crossbar before the danger was cleared. In the 24th minute, Meikle came close with a shot that went inches
wide of the base of the post. Then a corner kick to the Bell brought out another great save by Bald when he turned a shot
round the post. However, Penicuik doubled their lead in the 33rd minute when Keith LOUGH’s glancing header off a
Jancyzk free kick deceived keeper Lennox. Shortly afterwards, a fine move up the left wing culminated with a powerful
strike by Lawrie, but keeper Bald beat the ball away.
Half Time: Dundonald 0 Penicuik 2
Dundonald’s half time team talk obviously worked because the home side came out with all guns firing and in the 54th
minute burly striker QUINN slotted home from close range. The Bell now had their tails up and had the ball in the net two
minutes later, but referee Clarke had already blown for a free kick to Penicuik. However, the home side were not to be
denied and in the 64th minute a powerfully struck free kick by LAWRIE levelled the score. Ten minutes later, Dundonald
should have taken the lead but Lawrie dragged his shot just wide of the far post. In the 75th minute, following an inspired
managerial substitution, Stephen SCOTT nipped in ahead of keeper Lennox to grab his first goal since signing for
Penicuik. Then in the 84th minute a corner to Penicuik saw Somerville at the front post head the ball high in the air and
YOUNG out jumped the defence to head home. At the other end, keeper Bald pulled off an instinctive save to deny
Lawrie. Sadly Lawrie sustained a bad knee injury and had to be stretchered off. Into added on time and a clever reverse
pass by Scott set Sproule free who cut the ball back to SOMERVILLE who side footed the ball into the empty net.
