Swallows cling on for the victory

Eastvale...........................0

The Championship game between St Monans and Eastvale was played in dry conditions for a change but a strong wind from the west was to be a challenge for both sides.

St Monans were playing into the wind in the first half but despite this they had a number of chances and should have been ahead at the break.

Levenmouth side Eastvale huffed and puffed but made little impact on the St Monans goal.

St Monans got off to a good start in the second half and created a good chance after Horsburgh and Moodie linked well to set up Adam McArthur who failed to find the net

However, although they failed to convert that chance, it wasnt long before St Monans took the lead.

Connor Horsburgh took advantage of the strong wind and swung a corner in from the right which went beyond the defence and directly in to the Eastvale goal.

St Monans continued to dominate and the pressure got to the Eastvale right back who was sent of for a violent gesture towards St Monans’ Horsburgh.

St Monans saw the game out on the front foot with their local rivals unable to get themselves back on level terms.

The match sponsor was J Penman Butcher, Crail.
