27th February Latest Result: SLPD Pollok 1 Petershill 2
The
match kicked off on a soft but playable pitch, which did cut up a bit
as the game wore on, but fair play to the Pollok groundstaff for
getting
the match on. The early exchanges were fairly even, but
Pollok did create the clearer chances with Gerry Joyce having a
header cleared off the line and Callum Hardie shooting wide. Petershill
did create more as half time approached with Kevin McBride and Alan
Lindsay having shots saved by Pollok's trialist keeper. Pollok went
ahead just before the break, Bryan Dingwall shooting home from
inside
the 6 yard box despite the combined efforts of Heffron and
Nugent. Petershill got level again right after the break. Kevin McBride
whipped in the corner and found Jamie McGeoghegan unmarked and
he glanced home a header. Both teams had chances but Petershill
were given a chance to press for all 3 points after Lok's David
McGeown was sent packing for foul and abusive language. The goal
arrived
in the 88th minute when McKinstry drilled a ball forward and
Kevin McBride out muscled Joe Carruth and found himself clean
through on goal, he ran on and curled a shot into the far corner of the
net. James McKinstry almost added a third with a shot which crashed
back off the bar in the last minute.
