Starting Line Up; Kinniburgh, McCulloch, Park, Gibson, March, Kerr, Kelly, Arrol, McDonagh, Devlin & Smith. Subs; Graham & Purves

Man of the Match; Darren Smith

This was a fantastic peformance by all 13 players. Were it not for the bar stopping a Ryan Kelly left foot strike, a shot cleared off the line and 2 wonder saves by the Villa keeper we would have won the game. As it was, anyone watching would have thought we were the older side as we had Villa camped in their own half for the full 70 minutes. Everyone should be proud of the effort they put in.

Incident of Note: A special note today goes to Ryan Kelly's gran who was yellow carded by the referee for incroaching onto the field and kicking the ball. From the resultant throw in we scored our 6th goal, which goes down as an assist. Now we know where Ryan gets his left foot from !
