This was a game that was crucial to both clubs league points being a must. Prior to the game in their training work out Blair keeper Mark Nugent pulled a hamstring with Gordon O'Brien sub keeper taking his place. The opening few minutes were mainly midfield play but in the 7th minute, Blair outside left Darren Neave broke clear of the home defence, his cross came to Mark Brash who failed to connect properly slicing the ball wide.

John Harvey then took a hand in things for the Cuikie in 14 minutes, teaming up with Ross Montgomery on his left but he was crowded out by Blairs  Ryan Menzies & Craig Ferguson. Several attempts were made by the hosts but keeper O'Brien was up to all their efforts. 15 mins before the interval another peice of good work came to nil when John Harvey had bad luck when his pass to Dean Walker, who was in the outside left position, struck a defender on the way a perfect chance & pass going astray.

The second half was lacking in goals despite several attempts from both sets of forwards the respective keepers up to all efforts until the precious goal came from substitute Craig Millar when he lashed the ball into the net for three much needed points for Penicuik.
