Always a tough match and Saturday was no different. We started well and could've been 2 up early doors with a couple of big chances. 15-20mins in Greengairs started to get on front foot and had some decent territory and possession without creating too much. We grabbed the first goal when a flick on from bounced awkwardly and was knocked home by Emmanuel. Dan grabbed the 2nd when he pressed the CH really well and dispossessed him before finishing well. Lucky to go in 2 up in a first half where we didn't play at our best.

Start to 2nd half was again very positive - front foot and making chances. Emanuel scored a cracking third - or so everyone watching and on field thought. Dan with a great through ball - and Eman finished perfectly inside right corner. The ball bounced back off the tyre inside goal and the ref inexplicably didn't award goal even through w all ran to celebrate and the Greengairs players stopped to remonstrate with each other. Could've been crucial as we'd have been 3up and game done at that stage.

*Eman awarded goal for Season Stas.

Greengairs then went on and grabbed 1 back with 20mins left. Momentum totally shifted.

Credit to the lads though as Dan took an Eman pass and finished very well in same corner. No tyre this time!.

4-1 when Robbie was fouled and Tyler scored pen. Before a late consolation from Greengairs.

MOTM - Emmanuel changed the game for us when going on but award was decided between Ross and Ellis again. Both with workrate and attitude needed if we're going to win league. Ellis just nicking it this week.
