From there the YM pressed for the important second but were held up by the impressive visiting goalkeeper who made a number of excellent saves.
And they were nearly made to pay for those missed chances when the visitors dangerous number 9 had a fierce shot brilliantly saved by keeper Gear for a corner.
However number two followed a couple of minutes later when the visitors’ keeper made his only mistake of the game when challenged by Ireland, missing the cross for young Soutar to tap home.

However he was helpless to stop number five on 75 minutes from McEwan following a Bexfield cross, which was soon followed with number six.
This was the goal of the mat ch and maybe the season, with a top corner finish from 25 yards from the dominant McKenzie who had controlled the midfield with ease throughout the match.
