⚽️MATCH RESULT⚽️
Doune castle 0-6 Steins Thistle
(East of Scotland trophy)
A good performance from our boys against a home side missing a few key players.
The first half performance in particular was to the level we expect with our back four of Brannan, Manson, Crawford and McGown all using the ball intelligently allowing us to build up play.
However it was the first half display from man of the match Dylan McCafferty that had bums off seats with assists in all three goals, the first from a corner bulleted home by Dean Manson that brought muted celebration from the big fella returning to his old club. The second was a stunning shot that was brilliantly saved but fortunately Johnny Harrison was on hand to convert and then the third was great play again and a cross diverted into his own goal from an opposing defender.
The Steins midfield looked more compact than recent weeks and Finley Miller, Chiz and Kyle can be happy with their contribution.
With Doune down to ten men the second half was routine, more great play from McCafferty culminated in a cultured Harrison finish, which completed his hattrick following an earlier goal from close range.
Stephen Donaghy had given the opposition problem for most of the game and he was duly rewarded when he got his goal from a cheeky near post finish.
Not easy for our opponents today as they were light and we were firing but we wish them well for the rest of the season, a decent bunch of guys who will come back stronger.
Well done to our players and thanks to the supporters who came along and never let us down.
