Penicuik started their defence of the Conservatory
Convertors Fife & Lothian Cup against the team they
beat at the quarter final stage last season and
eventually did it in style. The crowd were served up a
ten goal thriller as the visitors went ahead through
MCPHIE in the 10th minute when Bald’s kick out fell to
him inside the home half and he fed Ireland at the
edge of the box before collecting the return pass and
shooting past Bald. It took the home side seven
minutes to get back on level terms as Jancyzk’s corner was head goal ward by Somerville and fell to FORBES
who turned the ball into the back of the net.A minute later and the Saints restored their lead as Buchan’s pass
released HENDRY to race into the box and coolly chip the onrushing Bald. It was the home side who drew level
in the 23rd minute as debutant CONNOLLY fired home from 12 yards on the angle as he picked up Noble’s
cross after Sproule’s jinking run. Penicuik took the lead for the first time in the match on 25 minutes when
Sproule’s corner was deflected by Young into the path of FORBES who netted from close range.
HALFTIME: Penicuik Athletic 3-2 St Andrews United
Penicuik’s half time lead only lasted seven minutes as Hume was adjudged to have handled on the deck and
despite the protestations of Young who saw yellow SCHIAVONE stepped up and beat the despairing dive of
Bald. The holders responded and Forbes in space on the right swung over an inch perfect cross which was met
by LOUGH who headed into the corner of the net with 56 minutes gone. The home side were now well on top
and creating chances with waves of attacks and it was no surprise when they went further in front four minutes
later as Jancyzk intercepted a Saints pass near the centre circle and drove towards the box where he fed
LOUGH who shot home with his right foot from 12 yards out.The game was over in the 70th minute when
Hume’s persistence saw Barr released on the right and his cross was only partially cleared to the edge of the
18-yard box where MONTGOMERY thundered home a volley. With eight minutes’ left on the clock a superb
Jancyzk pass from deep inside his own half picked out Stephen SCOTT on the run and he outpaced his marker
to slot into the corner of the net to complete the scoring.
