St. Anthonys
v. Maryhill
5 - 3
28th February 2009
5 - 3
28th February 2009
Maryhill's
promotion aspirations
received a significant
setback, as a poor
display, especially in
defence, saw them go
down to a lively St
Anthony's side in
another high scoring
match.
Opening
exchanges were even and
fairly uneventful before
Maryhill took the lead
in the fourteenth
minute. Ants' keeper
David Turner did not
deal well with a Mark
Sideserf corner,
punching the ball on to
the crossbar. Willie
Sawyers was on hand to
out jump the home defence
and head home the
rebound from six yards.
The lead only lasted
three minutes, when the
home side scored with an
overhead kick from Danny
Taylor. Taylor then got
his and his side's
second on 34 minutes.
His lobbed shot from 25
yards appeared to have
been covered by Kevin
Montgomery, but he only
managed to push the ball
into the roof of the
net. From then until the
break the home side were
in control, and did not
look like a team that
had only won two league
games.
Half Time - St
Anthony's 2
Maryhill 1
The second half
started with Alan
McFadden on in place of
James McLernon, and
following sustained
pressure,
the striker eventually
got his first goal for
Maryhill. A Mark McManus
corner was flicked on by
Sawyers into his path
and his close range
shot beat Turner to
make the score 2 - 2.
Only sixty seconds
later, however, the home
side were back in front.
A harmless looking cross
from Danny Taylor was
fumbled by Montgomery ,
and Gary Madden had an
easy job to put the ball
into the net. Seven
minutes later Taylor
completed his hat trick
with a header, and
following further poor
defending from
Maryhill, Craig Murphy
made it 5 -2 with
thirteen minutes
remaining. Willie
Sawyers gave Hill a
glimmer of hope when he
took advantage of
slackness in the home
defence seven minutes
form the end, but really
Maryhill's woeful
display was not worthy
of any reward. In the
final minute St
Anthony's defender
Mansare
was sent off for time
wasting, having already
been yellow carded in
the first half.
