Peterhead BC 1 - 4 Dyce BC Saturday 30th August 2008 at Peterhead Great Northern Trophies League A
The first game of the season was
postponed due to a waterlogged pitch so this fixture away to
Peterhead was important to ensure Dyce caught up with the leaders.
Playing downhill in the balmy weather
(must be a first for the "Blue Toon") Dyce were a goal down within
two minutes due to a defensive mix up. No one took control as
several Dyce players dithered and the Peterhead forward took the
opportunity. 1-0. Dyce struggled to get back into the game but,
from a great through pass from Mearns, a left foot finish from
Cowie was powered into the net for the equaliser. 1-1.
Ten minutes later another threaded through pass, this time from
Hunter, left Cowie galloping in to score his second.
1-2. Dyce seemed in control however, although there was some neat
link up passes in the middle, it closed the game up on a tight
pitch. Murray ran up and down selflessly on the right but Dyce
refused to play the ball wide and open up the game. Right on half
time a Brand clearance was pounced on by Buchan and the keeper
couldn't hold his blistering shot. Cowie followed up
to complete his hat trick.
HT: 1 - 3 The second half was more of the same with Dyce, having most of the pressure, and another Mearns through ball gave Cowie freedom to score his fourth goal. 1-4. Buchan caused confusion in the Peterhead defence every time he received the ball and was unlucky not to score. Peterhead's uncertainty in defence allowed Cowie and others plenty of chance but no further goals.
Dyce won comfortably in the end after a
stuffy performance from Peterhead. Dyce will have to learn to move
the ball about quicker, not congest the midfield, and use the wide
channels effectively.
Well done boys.
Mike, George, Bob,
Johnny.
