Scone Thistle Reds 2011

Riverside West End Blues 0-8 Scone Thistle Reds

Today we made the trip through to Dundee to face Riverside Blues. The boys were hoping to continue where they left off from the positive second half showing against Carnoustie in midweek but in truth we were fortunate not to find ourselves 1 down in the opening exchanges after a sloppy start saw riverside pass up a couple of really good opportunities.

Riverside would regret missing those early chances as soon after we opened the scoring when a defence splitting ball from Jamie saw Ethan race onto the pass and his effort at goal took a wicked spin off the defender and into the net, 0-1 Scone.

We would soon double our advantage when a shot from Bradley from outside of the box was collected by Harry and from just inside the area he gave the keeper no chance firing high into the net, 0-2 Scone.

We were now starting to knock the ball about well and further extended our lead when a clever ball from
John sent Taz away down the right and he cut inside and fired across the keeper with a tidy finish finding the far corner, 0-3 Scone.
H/T 0-3

Into the second half and now with the wind at our backs we got the ball down and played from the back. We made it 4 when a lobbed pass from the midfield from Harry got Taz in behind the Riverside defence and he showed good composure to finish well, 0-4 Scone.

We were having a lot of joy with the defence splitting passes and when Connor collected the ball midway into the Riverside half he put the ball in between 2 defenders for John to sprint by them and finish really well, 0-5 Scone.

We added a 6th when battling play from Stevie inside the riverside half saw him win back possession then playing the ball to John wide right of the riverside box where John sent an unstoppable effort that flew into the far top corner, a terrific strike, 0-6 Scone.

When Taz was fouled about 20 yards from goal up stepped Connor and his free kick took a nick off the defender and flew into the net wrong footing the keeper, 0-7 Scone.

We completed the scoring making it 8 when a really good move down the left hand side saw John hit the bye line and cut back to strike partner Ethan whose clever first time finish gave the keeper no chance and flew into the net, 0-8 Scone.
F/T 0-8

What turned out to be a comfortable victory could have been so very different had Riverside taken their chances early doors. Credit to the scone lads though once they got going some of their passing moves were excellent to watch, well done boys!

Today’s man of the match went to Jamie. The left back started so many attacks today with his clever footwork and passing, Jamie showed great composure on the ball throughout, well done Jamie!
