27th March 2010
A goal in injury time from
Martin McGoldrick earned
Maryhill only their second
League victory of the
season, and their first
points away from home.
For around 75 minutes this
game was shaping up to be as
poor as last week's visit to
St Anthony's. Neither side
could find any cohesion to
their play, and goal
attempts were few and far
between. The home side had a
couple of efforts which came
close, first from a Paul
Mallon drive which went
wide, then Kevin Montgomery
made a good save from Brian
Glancy's close range shot.
Maryhill's best chance came
in the 26th minute when a
Ryan Scobie header was
deflected by a Vics
defender, but quick
reactions from keeper
Charles Samasunga saved the
day.
Half Time - Blantyre
Vics 0 Maryhill 0
The second half continued to
produce some pretty
uninspiring stuff, although
good efforts from Leyton
Slack and Mark Sideserf gave
Maryhill some hope. A flurry
of activity around Kevin
Montgomery's goal midway
through the half failed to
pay off for the home side,
and the introduction of
Craig Ferguson twelve
minutes into the half saw
Maryhill gradually gain the
upper hand. In the 74th
minute a close range shot
from Ferguson produced a
great stop from Samasunga,
and another strike from
Mark Sideserf was just wide
of the target. In the
final ten minutes Maryhill
produced some determined and
constructive play, but a
succession of attempts on
goal were unsuccessful. A
Ryan Scobie header went just
wide, another header from
Mark Maxwell was brilliantly
blocked by Samasunga, sub
Martin McGoldrick headed
just over with the keeper
beaten, and in the 89th
minute a well struck Mark
Sideserf free kick hit the
bar. A minute into injury
time Maryhill eventually got
the winner, and it came from
an error from Samasunga in
the Vics goal. He fumbled a
fairly innocuous shot
from Craig Ferguson, and the
ball broke to Ryan Scobie.
The striker's cross was met
by McGoldrick who fired home
from a few yards out to seal
the three points for
Maryhill with his first
goal for the club.
