Stonehaven YFC  0 - 6   Dyce Boys Club FC

Sunday 26th October 2008

at Mineral Wells, Stonehaven

Dyce travelled to play Stonehaven managed by former player Graeme Anderson (Most Improved Player of the Year 1984/85 - photo on Dyce Boys Club website archive section).   On a sunny morning with conditions perfect for football Dyce started brightly and a good passing move started by Owen Murison at the back, then Craig Robb saw the ball played to Lee McAllister out wide but Lee's cross into the box was cleared by the Stonehaven defence.
 
Winning the ball in the middle of the park, Craig Robb drove forward and fired in a long range shot which the Stonehaven keeper comfortably saved.  A quick thrown-in by Owen Murison on the right to Lee McAllister saw the ball cut back to Craig Robb whose cross to the far post saw Jamie Massie ghost in and prod home from close range to put Dyce  ahead.
 
Winning a challenge on the left, Innes Copeland played the ball up the line to Jamie Massie who beat a couple of players before crossing to Lee McAllister who had time and space at the back post and he coolly stroked the ball into the back of the net with his left foot.  Dyce were getting to grips with the midfield and another good passing move involving Craig Robb and Jamie Massie saw Jamie's dangerous cross into the box cleared at the second attempt.  Liam Murray pounced on an error by a Stonehaven player, cleverly beat two defenders in the box and stroked the ball home with his right foot.
 
Playing a one-two with Liam Murray, Craig Robb fired in a fierce shot which the keeper could only parry and Lee McAllister was on hand to slot home the rebound.  Goal number five followed soon after with a similar type move but this time Lee McAllister's shot was parried by the keeper and Jamie Massie followed up to score.  Jamie was unlucky soon after when from a corner kick his volley went narrowly past the post.  Liam Murray played a slide rule pass to Jamie Massie who drove down the left, cut into the box and fired a shot across the keeper but just past the upright.
 
First Period:  0 - 5
 
A good one-two between Innes Copeland and James Morrison saw the keeper make a good save from James's shot.  A cross from the right by Liam Murray was met on the run by Jamie Massie and his shot brought out a fantastic save from the Stoney keeper.  The keeper saved well soon after from Craig Robb and James Morrison.   Archie Mair, in goals, although having little to do up to this point showed great awareness to rush to the edge of his box and clear a dangerous Stonehaven counter attack.  Jamie Massie beat two players on the left but his cross into the box was eventually cleared after a scramble.
 
Stonehaven pressed forward at the end of the second period and from a corner kick with the ball bouncing in the box the Stonehaven striker fired in a great shot which beat Archie Mair but Craig Robb, on the goal line, somehow managed to clear the danger.
 
Second Period:  0 - 5
 
Craig Robb latched on to a long clearance by Archie Mair and played the ball to Josh Low who cut the ball back to James Morrison who blasted home from the edge of the box.  A good passing move between James Morrison and Josh Low saw the ball cut back to Craig Robb whose left foot shot went past the upright.   Stonehaven were unlucky soon afterwards when, after a scramble in the Dyce box, Stonehaven were unable to capitalise and the ball went past the post.  Owen Murison intercepted a Stonehaven pass, drove in on goals and fired in a shot but the Stoney keeper saved.
 
Archie Mair had to be on his toes near the end of the game when he made a superb save down to his right hand side to keep a clean sheet.
 
Full Time:  0 - 6
