After a long break we returned to league action tonight against a tough opponent in Bellshill.

We were quick out of the traps and took the lead after only 4 mins, Hayden pressed high and won the ball from their CB and played Marc in and he volleyed home from inside the box.

Bellshill equalized from their first attack when their striker who was a handful all night ran down the channel and cut inside before finishing well.

We didn’t panic and only a minute later we were ahead again. A good move down the left saw a cross headed clear and Max was first to the loose ball and fired a superb volley from the corner of the box into the bottom corner.

We dominated the rest of the half with Marc hitting the bar , Hayden firing over and their keeper making several decent saves to keep his team in the game .

At half time we made 4 changes with Conor making his league debut in goal .

Only 5 mins into the half Artem held off two defenders before drawing a foul . Marc put the free kick in and Eli on his first run out of the season out jumped the keeper and defence to bullet home the header.

Bellshill threw men forward and got another back when their striker ran clear and squared for their winger to tap home to set up a grandstand finish.

Conor saved well from a long range shot and they had one cleared off the line but we regained our composure to see out the last 10-15 mins well and earn a deserved 3 points.

MOTM - a few contenders in a hard working team performance .

Marc with a goal & assist & Max with a great strike and shift at full back .

Hayden gets the award tonight . Never gave their defence a minute and held the ball up brilliantly all night in a proper old fashioned centre forwards performance .

After 2 weeks off, the boys are back in action under the lights this Friday night. It’s a tough game back vs Bellshill but we have had 2 excellent sessions this week & are looking sharp ahead of game.

The team know what type of performance will be required in this important fixture if we are to secure the 3 points & keep our unbeaten league start going.

We bow out of the Scottish Cup after a poor defeat. Playing into a strong wind we started well enough but then handed the momentum to EK by giving away needless fouls around our box . Brayden saved well from one free kick but EK took the lead when we failed to stop and clear a cross which was played back into the box and their striker finished from close range. For 20 mins after the goal we were all over the place , failing to get our press right and EK had a lot of the ball without creating any real chances. As the half progressed we played our way into the game but failed to take any of the half chances presented and at HT we had failed to trouble their stand in keeper.

2nd half with the wind was a different game as we dominated the ball and created chance after chance. As has been the case all too often this season we failed to hit the target although we did rattle the woodwork 4 times and had one disallowed for offside.
Brayden made a great save from a break away to keep us in the game but as the clock ticked down we couldn’t find the goal to force penalties.

It’s a sore defeat as we exit the Scottish Cup in the very early rounds for the 1st time ever but if you lose cheap goal & don’t put the ball in the net, we won’t win many games.

It’s back to training next week, dust ourselves down & look to work on the areas we need to be better at & hopefully come back stronger.

Congratulations to EK who had a game plan & carried it out very well on the night, all the best in the next round.

MOTM , a match where few hit the levels we know they are capable of.

Brayden takes the award , did everything asked of him in goals with one great double save in the 2nd half.

A big Friday night crowd saw us at Broadwood against league newcomers Cumbernauld Colts. Like our last few games we started very well and went ahead after only 4 mins. A good move on the left saw Max put in a great cross which Artem controlled and fired into the bottom corner. After that we created chance after chance with Marc hitting the post, then Nathan and Artem both going close. We should have been further ahead but we get caught on the break from a corner and after Marc had cleared off the line their striker scored from close range. Only 5 mins later we went behind when we allowed their winger to run from half way and finish, 2 shots & 2 goals very much the story of the first half.

We asked for an increase in levels 2nd half and the game was played in Colts half for long spells with Brayden a spectator. We had numerous shots from inside and outside the box but missed the target too often and found their keeper in good form with some great saves. The pressure told and we equalized with a brilliant goal, Nathan playing a great ball over the top to Murray who beat his man and put in a perfect cross for Artem to dive and head home.

We pressed for a winner and their keeper made another great save from Kerrs shot before he got sent off for aiming a punch at Artem after a goal mouth scramble .

Colts held out for a point and will be a good addition to the league. Two points dropped or one gained , we wil find out later in the season.

MOTM .
2 stand outs tonight.
Murray a constant threat on the right with a brilliant ball in for the 2nd goal but he was just shaded by this weeks winner Artem who never stopped running and scored 2 great strikers goals.
