Dyce BC  7 - 1  Stoneywood Utd

Sunday 30th October  2005

Pitmedden Road

Aaron West misses today's game through injury.   We played 2 thirty minute periods today and in the first fifteen minutes the game was very even with neither side able to dominate play as they both found it difficult coming to terms with the blustery, windy conditions.  
 
A defence splitting pass by Robbie Collinson saw Ryan Gordon's goalbound effort cleared off the line.   Robbie Collinson went on a good run down the left and cut inside to shoot for goals and although his first shot was blocked he managed to knock the rebound through to Ryan Gordon in space who scored from close in.   Soon afterwards, Nicol Christie hit a twenty-five yard rocket which he rebounded off the bar and while everyone was admiring the shot, Gareth Ledingham was first to the rebound to shoot home.
 
Ryan Gordon played Nicol Christie through on goals and just as he was about to pull the trigger a Stoneywood defender made a last gasp tackle to see the ball end up for a corner kick to Dyce which came to nothing.   Good football from the back through midfield saw Nicol Christie's cross-cum-shot deceive everyone but hit the bar and rebound to safety.   With only minutes of the half left Dyce were caught pushing forward and when Stoneywood won the ball in midfield they broke quickly to score giving Paul Noble, in goals, no chance.   Stoneywood had their tails up now and were pushing forward and when their central midfield player shot from twenty yards the ball went narrowly over the bar.
 
Half time:  2  -  1
 
Early in the second half, Nicol Christie won an important challenge in midfield and seeing Ryan Gordon unmarked, played a lovely ball through for Ryan to put Dyce into a 3  -  1 lead.   When a through ball by Blair Gilligan was only half cleared, Nicol Christie fired home a rocket from twenty yards which flew into the top right hand corner of the Stoneywood net.
 
When a free kick was played in from the left, Ryan Aitken headed for goals only to see the Stoneywood keeper bring off a  fine save.   Great one touch football saw the ball played from Calum Wilson at the back to Nicol Christie and then out wide to Ryan Aitken whose cross was met at the near post by Craig MacAskill who scored from a narrow angle.   Picking up a throw in on the left hand side, Robbie Collinson beat his marker only to see his shot beat the goalkeeper but come flying back into play off the crossbar.
 
In an identical move minutes later, Robbie Collinson picked up a throw in but his fierce shot was parried by the goalkeeper and Gareth Ledingham reacted first to hit the back of the net.     A good passing move involving Ryan Aitken, Gareth Ledingham and Craig MacAskill saw Craig cut the ball back for Robbie Collinson who fired in a great shot only to see the goalkeeper turn the ball past the post for a corner.
 
Craig MacAskill played the ball out wide to Gareth Ledingham who beat two defenders on a great run up the right hand side and he crossed for Ryan Aitken to have the easiest of chances to tap in goal number seven.   Ryan Aitken then had a shot well saved by the Stoneywood keeper who palmed his effort on to the post where it was cleared to safety.   Stoneywood were still battling and refused to give up and Byron Stirton, now playing in goals saved well from a long rage Stoneywood effort.
 
Full time:  7  -  1

Credit must go to both teams who once they got to grips
with the blustery conditions tried to play passing football.
Dyce were worthy winners today but had to work hard against an
 enthusiastic Stoneywood team who battled to the end.
