CRAIGMARK BURNTONIANS 1

MAYBOLE 6

by Matt Speirs

CRAIGMARK's total indiscipline went a long way towards deciding this match as they had FOUR players ordered off.

It all started so well for Craigmark when they opened the scoring in two minutes after a corner-kick was not cleared and Ryan McKay turned the ball into the net.

Maybole were level two minutes later when a long clearance by Elliott Masterson found Gavin Scott and he turned and finished well.

The visitors went ahead in the 15 minutes when Chris Allan produced a fine free-kick, bending the ball round the wall and into the net. The first ordering off came in 35 minutes when Mitchell Ewing was shown a straight red card for kicking.

Ten minutes after the interval Craigmark were reduced to eight men when Greg Gallacher was sent off for bad tackle and Mark Dyer followed him for remarks he made to the referee.

On the hour, Maybole were awarded a penalty when Craig Brown was fouled but the youngster hit the bar from the penalty spot.

Maybole extended their lead five minutes later, Sam Nimmo converting a cross from the penalty area.

Craigmark were reduced to seven men 20 minutes from time when Lewis Kirkwood was sent off for two bookings.

Ten minutes from the end, Allan headed a cross from substitute Tommy Sloan into the net.

Two minutes later a cross from Nathan Baird found Craig Brown who headed into the net.

The scoring was complete five minutes from time when substitute Aiden Conner sent a 25-yard shot into the top corner of the net.

MAYBOLE: Masterson, Caldwell, Walker, Warren, Baird, Bloye, Brown, Bell, Allan, Scott, McMillan. Subs: Sloan, Conner, Dunn, Dempster, Nimmo.
