Bright Saturday
afternoon with the Cainniepairt holding a very decent crowd this was a
very close encounter between two pacemakers from the East Superleague.
Nothing between the sides on effort and commitment giving the supporters
a match of few scoring opportunities ending up with a nail biting finish
knowing a single goal would have taken the victory and it was Arniston
who nearly grabbed the winner 10 minutes from time. A throw in from the
right was sent into the area at bullet pace and headed back
into the path of Barnes who headed powerfully across the area
wide of the righthand post to the relief of the Port support. The first
period opened with the
Arniston Support giving great vocal encouragement and setting a
good atmosphere within the ground, both teams were battling it
out for control of midfield ending up shared throughout the match. End
to end football followed with both teams having efforts dealt with by
two well organised defences. The second period started in Arniston’s
favour with Scott Peters and John Ward blocking some decent shooting
efforts. Port hit back with efforts from Sean Christie but goal scoring
opportunities were at a premium. Newbyres Park is the place to be next
Saturday for this 4th round replay with both teams more than capable of
grabbing the victory, could even go down to the wire and end up a
penalty shoot out. Match referee decided to have the pencil out on many
occasions but to be fair to both sides this was a good junior encounter
played a breathtaking pace.
