Maryhill v. St
Anthonys
1 - 3
3rd October 2009
1 - 3
3rd October 2009
Yet
another
lacklustre
performance
saw Maryhill
sink to
their sixth
consecutive
league
defeat.
The visitors
should have
gone ahead
in the sixth
minute when
slack
defending
allowed
Thomas
Miller a
clear shot
at goal, but
he fired the
ball past
the post.
Just on the
quarter hour
mark, a good
run from
Mark
Sideserf
ended
with his
well
executed lob
going just
over the
bar.
Maryhill
appeared to
have taken
the lead
three
minutes
later when a
wind
assisted
free kick
from
goalkeeper
Chris Calder
deceived
Ants' keeper
Anthony
Curran, and
ended up in
the net. The
jubilation
was short
lived,
however, as
referee
Joseph
Lawson
indicated
that, as it
had been an
indirect
free kick,
the goal was
invalid.
There were
no further
incidents
worthy of
mention in
the first
period, with
the half
time score
being a fair
reflection
of the play.
Half
Time -

Anthony's 0
After the
break
Maryhill
pressed the
Ants'
defence, and
sub Mark
Maxwell was
just inches
away from
from
connecting
with a cross
from Brian
Chiesa. Ross
Barr then
had an
attempt at
goal which
was
deflected by
the Trialist
striker on
to the
crossbar
with
the keeper
beaten. Less
than a
minute
later, the
visitors
opened the
scoring. A
cross from
the left got
caught up in
the wind
causing
havoc in the
Hill
defence.
Greg Harvey
reacted
quickly, and
although
Chris Calder
managed to
get a hand
to the
striker's
header, he
could not
prevent the
ball from
crossing the
line. Two
minutes
later, it
was 2 - 0
with the
wind again
playing a
major part.
Mark McCuish
took a free
kick from
just inside
the Maryhill
half, but
Calder was
deceived by
the flight
of the ball,
and
amazingly it
ended up in
the net. Yet
another free
kick
produced the
third goal,
when
substitute
Ross
Cumming's
effort hit
the target
with Calder
appearing to
be slow to
react.
Leyton Slack
scored for
Maryhill in
the last
minute, but
it was too
late to be
of any
importance.
Although at
least two of
the goals
could be
attributed
to
goalkeeping
errors, it
would be
unfair to
blame Chris
Calder for
the defeat,
as few of
his
colleagues
performed
well, with
only Martin
McGoldrick,
John
Cunningham
and Mark
Sideserf
turning in
passable
displays.
