Mill United 1 EKYC 6

A visit to Mill Utd only 2 games into the season is not the easiest game in the world, but it was made even more difficult with injuries to Sam Hill and Lee Elliot, and illnesses keeping goalkeeper James Kinniburgh and John Dingwall out. We travelled with only 13 players, and had to play Dean Arrol in goal, but the boys rose to the challenge.

Dean had two or three good saves in the first third keeping the score at 0-0.

At the start of the second period, Mill Utd took the lead after a quick break up field and indecision in our defence. The boys rallied well and almost immedately RYAN KELLY equilized after a Scott Graham shot was blocked. DREW WATSON then added a second with a great individual goal which resulted in him firing the ball high into the roof of the net.

In the final period the boys dug deep and penned Mill United in their own half, some of the best football we have played resulted in both MAN OF THE MATCH DREW WATSON and RYAN KELLY completing their hat tricks.

Every player played fantastic and rose to the challenge, and any one one them could have taken the Man of the Match award, but DREW WATSON edged it for his important and well taken goals.
