Sunday 28th October  2007

Webster Park

 

Calum Wilson stepped up from the 9s to play in goals for the 10s today as they were short of players due to school holidays.   The game kicked off on a fine sunny morning and Glentanar scored two minutes into the first half with a good break down the right hand side and a fine shot which beat Calum and hit the back of the net.   Dyce responded with an attack down the left by Matthew Dick but his cross just eluded Bradley Neish.  Good work by Bruce Anderson down the right hand side saw Matthew Dick got on the end of Bruce's cross to level the scores.
 
The game was now end-to-end with both teams playing well.   Dyce again broke down the right with Glenn Murison releasing Bruce Anderson but his shot was saved for a corner.   Slack defending in the box by the Dyce defence saw the ball break to the Glentanar striker and although Calum Wilson got his fingertips to the ball he was unable to prevent a goal.  Dyce were pressing to get the equaliser and after constant pressure it paid off.   A great passing move started by Liam Strachan in defence saw the ball passed to Glenn Murison and then to Bruce Anderson then to Matthew Dick and Bradley Neish latched on to the final through ball from Matthew and rifled a great left foot shot which bulged the net.
 
Glentanar applied some pressure but Dylan Smith and Liam Strachan ensured Calum Wilson was untroubled.  Bruce Anderson thought he was David Beckham when he tried to score with a looping shot which cleared the crossbar with plenty to spare!!!!!!!!!!  Dyce won a corner after a melee in the Glentanar box but it came to nothing.   A brilliant last gasp challenge by Liam Strachan saw a certain goal averted and the defence cleared.   Glentanar were pressing hard but were kept at bay by solid defending by Liam Strachan and Dylan Smith.  Right at the end of the first half, a fierce shot from Glentanar was saved by Calum Wilson diving to his right.
 
Both teams went off to a round of applause from both sets of supporters and a well earned half time drink.
 
Half Time:  2  -  2
 
Dyce kicked off the second half on all out attack with shots by Matthew Dick, Bruce Anderson and Bradley Neish bringing  outstanding saves from the Glentanar keeper but no goals.  Glentanar were hitting on the break and went ahead when their striker was left with just the keeper to beat and he made no mistake.  Dyce pressed forward and won three corners on the trot but they were unable to beat the Glentanar keeper who was saving everything that was thrown at him.  Another great save from Matthew Dick resulted in a corner for Dyce - from the corner the ball fell to Bruce Anderson who this time beat the keeper with a fierce low drive.
 
Winning a strong challenge in midfield, Glenn Murison played Bruce Anderson down the right hand side.   Bruce's cross was met on the volley by Bradley Neish and went flying into net giving the keeper no chance to save.   The momentum was now with Dyce and Matthew Dick crossed from the left to Bruce Anderson in the middle and he rifled a screamer into the top corner of the net for goal number 5.   Minutes later a great tackle by Dylan Smith stopped a dangerous Glentanar attack.   Glenn Murison turned his marker in midfield and released Bradley Neish but once again the Glentanar keeper brought off a wonder save from Bradley's strike.   Liam Strachan intercepted a through ball and released Bradley Neish but he didn't strike the ball cleanly and it was cleared.
 
Good pressure by Dyce saw Glenn Murison left with just a tap-in but once again the Glentanar keeper came to the rescue and saved.   Seconds before the final whistle Calum Wilson came off his line and pulled off a superb save to stop a breakaway Glentanar attack.

We could probably have scored more goals today if
we hadn't found the Glentanar keeper in inspired form.
All the boys played well today and didn't tire even although
they had to play the whole game as we had no subs.
