Wishaw Wycombe Wanderers 3 EKYC 1
This was a hard fought match played in Overtown in which we suffered our first defeat of the season against the strong Wishaw Wycombe Wanderers. We made a few changes to our line up from recent weeks with Cameron Gibson reverting to centre half and Ross McDonagh replacing Liam Crichton who was struggling with a muscle strain.
We started the game like a train and very quickly had Wishaw penned in their own half. RYAN KELLY opened the scoring after some great passing play saw the ball squared accross the goal and Ryan volleyed us into the lead from close range. We continued to press and when the pacey Wishaw forwards tried to break they were marshalled well by Scott Graham and Cameron Gibson at centre half. Scott Graham was unlucky with a long range effort that hit the bar in the last minute of the half.
At the start of the second period Thomas McGuire replaced Scott Mitchell who was struggling with a thigh strain and Liam Chrichton replaced Ross McDonagh.
Wishaw gained the upper hand when they pressed down the right, forcing a quick shy which resulted in the getting the ball into the box and the forward finished well to equalise.
Our boys looked sahken by that and James Kinniburgh had to make a few good saves to keep the score even. The defence which looked solid in the first half was being caught out of position and 2 quick goals from Wishaw saw us struggling at 3-1 down.
At the start of the third period Sam Hill moved to wide right and immediately started to find space for himself and his team mates, and his work rate was second to none. Cameron Gibson was pushed forward as we went 3-4-3 to try and get something from the game and both he and Christopher Park shot narrowly over. The game finished at 3-1 and the disappointment showed on some of the players faces,as they tasted defeat for the first time at 11 a sides, an impressive run which hopefully will get back on track next week, agaisnt the equally tough Newmains Hammers.
Man of the Match for the 2nd week in a row was Scott Graham.

EKYC 2 Westwood Rovers 0
Our first game of 2006 was played on the 3G Astro Grass at Bent Pitches, Hamilton.
Our opponents were Westwood Rovers who were playing their first 11 a side match.
The game was played in freezing conditions, and the long lay off looked to have affected the way the boys played.
Within a minute of the game starting we were one nil up with a volley from SCOTT MITCHELL high over the keeper and into the net.
It should have been the start we wanted and allowed us to play our normal passing game on the big pitch. It was not to be however and we huffed and puffed a little, passing up some good goal scoring opportunities. At the end of the first period it was 1-0.
EKYC made some changes with Lee Elliot, Cameron Gibson and Ross McDonagh replacing Darren Smith, Sam Hill and Scott Mitchell.
The second half was pretty unaventful but again some poor finishing kept the score down. Meanwhile James Kinniburgh had to look alert and be quick off his line a couple of times to help out the defence.
At the start of the third period more chnages were made. The boys looked a bit hungrier and kept Westwood penned in their own half. RYAN KELLY was getting more involved and he finished off a good move down the left to make it 2-0.
Scott Graham looked to have the defence controlled well and his pace matched that of the Westwood winger, who looked frustrated and his attempts to outrun Scott.
The game ended at 2-0 and SCOTT GRAHAM'S performance meant he was awarded Man of the Match.
