Kirkcaldy & Dysart 2-3 Coldstream: Dysart’s hopes of going top of league washed away by the ’Stream

However Coldstream did not read the script as they came out winners by the odd goal in a five-goal thriller.

The proceedings kicked off with both teams and spectators holding a minute’s silence for former Kirkcaldy YM Juniors manager Rab Brown who sadly passed away this week. Rab was a very popular figure at the YM and condolences go out to all his family and friends.

K & D opened the scoring which their early play merited after 19 minutes, when top scorer John Smith beat the diving Matt Hall with a well struck shot low to keeper’s bottom right hand corner.

Coldstream levelled after 26 minutes when Ejay Gay beat Dion Gear to tie the match at 1-1.

The visitors got themselves in front on 43 minutes when a free-kick from the left led to a scramble in the box and the ball fell to Gay who lashed it in.

A minute later, away keeper Hall failed to hold a shot and parried it into the path of Smith who made no mistake to level the scoring at 2-2 at the break.

The game’s decisive fifth goal arrived after 78 minutes when – after a scramble in a packed Dysart box - the ball broke to Matt Corfield who struck it home to give Coldstream a 3-2 lead.

Dysart, third in the league table with 19 points from 11 games, continue their league campaign at Luncarty this Saturday with kick-off at 2.30pm.
