Maryhill made heavy
weather of overcoming a stuffy
Wishaw side, but three goals in
the last seven minutes
eventually secured a comfortable
victory.
After a quiet opening
ten minutes,the visitors were
first to threaten when a long
range lob from Billy Brawley
caught Chris Calder off his
line. Fortunately for Maryhill
the ball landed wide of the
target. Kevin Howe almost opened
the scoring for Maryhill in the
18th minute, but with Wishaw
keeper Glen Weir beaten, the
Hill striker's header rebounded
from the post. Maryhill began to
dominate at this stage, and a
Martin McGoldrick header and a
close range shot from Craig
Ferguson both came close. They
eventually took the lead four
minutes from half time when Mark
Sideserf headed home from a
Michael Tolland corner.
Half Time - Maryhill
1 Wishaw 0
Kevin Howe should have
put Maryhill two up two minutes
after the break, but he mistimed
his shot from around 6 yards
out. The visitors rarely
threatened, but despite having
very little to do, Chris Calder
kept Wishaw from equalising when
he saved well from a Kris
Kerrigan shot in the 57th
minute. It was all Maryhill now,
but despite having the bulk of
the pressure, a poor final ball
let them down on several
occasions. The Wishaw defence,
well marshalled by James Mc
Bride, was also proving
difficult to break down. Scott
Banks had a good opportunity,
but after being set up by Mark
Sideserf, he shot weakly at
Weir. Seven minutes from the end
the crucial second goal finally
arrived. A long ball from Martin
McGoldrick was picked up by
Kevin Howe who outpaced three
Wishaw defenders, and shot past
Weir. Maryhill were at last able
to relax, and played some
impressive football in the final
five minutes, which saw them add
a further two goals. First
Leyton Slack headed home a
Michael Tolland cross, and in
the last minute Kevin Howe got
his second when he deflected a
cross from Craig Ferguson beyond
the keeper.
