Maryhill v.
Dunipace
3- 1

3- 1
13th March 2010
It has been a
long time coming, but
Maryhill finally managed
their first league
victory of the season
with a convincing win
over Dunipace.
Martin
McGoldrick and Craig
Ferguson were
surprisingly left on the
bench as Maryhill
proceeded to dominate
the opening minutes,
forcing a series of
corners. The visitors
were first to create a
clear scoring chance,
however, when Kevin
Montgomery made a good
save from a Steven Oates
header. Maryhill
continued to hold the
upper hand, and a
double save by Dunipace
keeper Blair Hutton
prevented first Scott
Banks then Ryan Scobie
from opening the
scoring. Scobie passed
up another good
opportunity, heading
over from close range,
before Scott Banks put
Maryhill ahead nine
minutes from the
interval. Hutton
misjudged a free kick
from Andy Wright and
dropped the ball,
leaving the Hill
midfielder with an easy
chance to score his
first goal for the club.
Although Maryhill
remained on top until
the break, they were
unable to increase their
lead.

Right at the
start of the second
half a "stramash" in
the visitors' six yard
box almost produced a
second goal for
Maryhill, but Hutton
again made a good stop
to avert the danger. It
was soon to be Kevin
Montgomery's chance to
give an example of good
goalkeeping when he made
vital saves from efforts
by Sean McCafferty and
sub Kieran McIlduff.
Apart from these two
chances, it was Maryhill
who held the territorial
advantage most of the
time, and they went 2 -
0 up midway through the
half. Mark Sideserf
crossed from the right
and Ryan Scobie flicked
the ball on to Craig
Ferguson who shot home.
It was the big
midfielder's first touch
of the ball , having
replaced the trialist
striker only a minute
previously. Maryhill
should have sealed the
game, but a series of
missed opportunities and
inspired goalkeeping
from Hutton kept
Dunipace in with a
chance. Three minutes
from the end the
visitors were handed a
lifeline. There had been
no claim from any of
their players when sub
William McLachlan
tumbled in the box
after appearing to lose
his balance following a
challenge from Andy
Wright. To the surprise
of all present, referee
Howard Wilkin decided
that the award of a
penalty was appropriate,
and Ryan McCafferty
looked almost
embarrassed as he scored
from the spot to set up
a tense closing three
minutes. Peter Fraser
missed a great
opportunity in the final
minute when Craig
Ferguson set him up, but
he delayed his shot
allowing the keeper time
to stop his goal
attempt. Man of the
match Ryan Scobie
finally wrapped up a
deserved three points
for Maryhill in the
second minute of injury
time, firing home from a
tight angle after his
first effort had been
blocked.
