One Loss....One Draw

Mixed bag for the Senior sides on saturday. The Colts home tie at Pilrig v Dunbar United left a very disappointed squad wondering how they had lost! A first half of total dominance, a mass of missed chances, and the home keeper hardly having a save to make, it was all looking very positive at the half time break. Two glorious chances missed in the first 5 mins of the restart came back to haunt the Colts. A defensive mistake, a bit of inexperience and a bizzare penalty, allowed the visitors to take a 0-3 lead. The Colts eventually awoke to the fact that, even at 0-3 there was still much to play for, and 2 late Ferguson goals, inspired an extreme effort, but the clocked tick towards another defeat. All told, the first half display, apart from the missed chances, was almost faultless! A 17 minute spell in the second period ended in the Colts having to settle for another loss when they deserved far more. The Senior Ams headed along the motorway to Bathgate and had to settle for a 2-2 draw. However, at 2-0 down with 20 minutes to go, the Ams came storming back into the game and levelled with goals from Robertson and Martin, and by all accounts should probably have went on to win the game.
