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.

Partick Thistle 2 EKYC 4
The match was a 12 o c'clock kick off on the astro grass at the Firhill Complex, Maryhill. The only player missing was John Dingwall who has broken his arm and will be out till into the New Year. Everyone wishes him a speedy recovery.
The game was played in freezing conditions. The pitch was great, but a little frosty down the left hand side.
EKYC started playing some great football, and the passing was great to see. RYAN KELLY scored the opening goal with a great finish, after some nifty footwork down the left hand side. We had Thistle hemmed in their own half, and some poor finishing kept the score down, and in their first attack, which was a long hopeful punt up the park, YC defenders were too slow to react and the centre forward ran through and beat James Kinniburgh with a shot low into the net.
At the end of the first period it was 1-1, and some changes were made replacing Liam Chrichton who had hurt his back with Ross McDonagh, Cameron Gibson on for Darren Smith, Thomas McGuire for Jack Kerr and Lee Elliot for Gary McCulloch.
Within a minute ROSS MCDONAGH had charged down a short back pass to the Thistle keeper and rolled the ball into the net to make it 2-1.
Thistle again pulled a goal back this time from a short kick out by Kinniburgh, the striker took a touch and then fired it high over James' head and into the net.
A couple more changes were made and we continued to press with some good link up play with Ryan Kelly and ROSS McDONAGH resulting in the latter getting his second of the day with a cool finnish.
We then had 2 goals ruled offside, hit the post and the keeper had a great save before ROSS McDONAGH completed his hat trick with a tap in.
This was a great display on a big park, the boys played some excellant football and kept possession well.
We will try to arrange some games during the festive period.

EKYC 4 Strathclyde United 3
At last, after 5 weeks of trying, a game on a Sunday morning. Some late call offs from Lee Elliot, Jamie Cunningham and Liam Crichton left EKYC with a pool of only 14 players to pick from. The pitch was heavy and the conditions were very windy.
We started off the game and it was noticeable that the boys had not played for a while, the usual slick passing and movement was not there. We did have Starthclyde Utd penned back in their own half for long periods but could not take advantage of some great work by the tireless Sam Hill.
Eventually, SAM HILL took the matters into his own hands and scored a great individual goal by firing the ball high into the visitors net from outside the box.
Gary McCulloch was the removed from the field after agravating his back injury, which meant some re shuffling of the team.
Going into the second half 3 changes were made and John Dingwall, Thomas McGuire and Cameron Gibson entered the game.
CAMERON GIBSON added to the scoring to make it 2-0,early in the 2nd half.
The boys seemed to tire a little and allowed Strathclyde back into the game, and after slack defending a soft penalty was awarded for a trip by Scott Graham. The United striker made no mistake and hammered the penalty low past James Kinniburgh to his right.
This seemed to give our opposition hope and a couple of minutes later were awarded another penalty after handball from Darren Smith. this time the taker changed sides and equalised by scoring low to James's left.
At the start of the 3rd period, another mistake in the defence this time from a corner led to United taking a 3-2 lead, and at this time there only looked like being one winner with EKYC looking tired and beaten.
On a rare break, and the first piece of football played all day EKYC got the equaliser and good work from Dean Arrol and Scott Mitchell played SAM HILL in and from a tight angle he rolled the ball into the net.
This seemed to give the boys new hope and after some good work down the right Sam Hill crossed the ball deep to the far post for RYAN KELLY to make it 4-3.
The remainder of the match was played in the United half and once again the team showed good charchter to come back from being a goal down, although the defence mistakes will need to be cut out.
Man of the Match went to the tireless SAM HILL not just for his 2 goals but for his all round play.
The team that started was;Kinniburgh,Arrol,McCulloch,Smith,Graham,McDonagh,Kelly,Park,Kerr,Hill and Mitchell.

EKYC at Murray Park - 4th December 2005
This Sunday the boys had thier Christmas treat a wee bit early.The boys were taken to Murray Park the training ground of Rangers. They had a tour of the facility and a 1 1/2 hour training session with a coach on the outside astro grass. Yet again the boys excelled themselves, with a few catching the watching eye of the coach. As always they behaved themselves well and were a credit to the club and their parents.
As well as football coaching, they were giving advice on dynamic warm ups and eating habits.
The session was extremely worth while, as everyone, no matter what team they supported(including Queen of the South!!!), enjoyed it.
Hopefully we can do it again in the near future.

EKYC 2 Partick Thistle 1
The game was played in freezing conditions, which made the surface very slippy, but we decided to continue with the match to give the boys some much needed match practice.
The game was played over 2 half hours, at 9 a-side on the astro turf at Ballerup.
All the players were given the same play time. The team that started was ;
KINIBURGH, ARROL, McCULLOCH, GRAHAM, CRICHTON, KERR, KELLY, HILL and GIBSON.
The boys struggled to cope with the slippery surface early on and were a goal down within 10 minutes. As they got used to the surface they started to play some good attacking football and some of the passes were great to see. The boys never looked like they had not played for 4 weeks, and were soon keeping Thistle penned in their own half.
After 20 minutes SCOTT MITCHELL was brought on as a sub and with his first touch of the ball he hammered it low past the diving keeper to equalise. Trialist Ross McDonagh was then introduced, and he showed some great touches, and did not look out of place. The half finished with an entirely differant side with the exception of James Kinniburgh in goals.
In the second half, it got colder, if that was possible, and the boys were rotated contstantly. These changes did not alter the flow of the game and DEAN ARROL then scored his first of the season, with a run from his own half, as the defenders backed off, he fired a shot low into the bottom left hand corner.
The remainder of the game was fairly even, and towards the end the ground conditions worsened, but still we tried to play the passing game.
This was a great result considering we had not played for 4 weeks and the conditions.
Hopefully, we will have a game this weekend, weather permitting.
