The match began at a frantic pace with LEWIS on the attack immediately and with their obvious size advantage were getting the ball forward at every opportunity and pinning Hutchie back , then a mistake in midfield and the Lewis winger was free he got to the touchline and sent over a great cross for their forward to head home 1-0.

Hutchie were now rattled but before anymore damage was done Jamie made a good run and smashed a shot from distance which left the keeper helpless 1-1.

The match was now end to end with lots of fouls the ref( a lady ) was doing her best to control the somewhat over excited challenges and in the most part did a good job with some well chosen words of wisdom to the offenders .

From another free kick Connor floated the ball into the box and before the defenders could get there Jamie acrobatically tipped the ball home 1-2

Lewis were now pushing hard and came close on several occasions but for some last ditch defending and a great save by Gregor who managed to scoop the ball away when it looked like sailing over him , stopped any further goals

Half time 1-2.

Second half began with Lewis having the bulk of possession and with the ball continually fired from long range into the Hutchie box it was only with a few break outs that Hutchie still looked dangerous.

From another Lewis attack a shot looped over Gregor but before the ball could cross the line Kevin managed to head it clear  , the pressure was mounting and numerous  long range shots were fired in as Lewis just couldn’t break through our defence , but their shots  were sailing just over or wide .

A scramble in the box resulted in a shot passing Gregor but before it made it to the line Kevin just made it back to hook it clear again .

With 2 minutes to go a Lewis player raced down the wing into the box and was brought down Penalty ,,,,, which was dispatched with ease 2-2

Full time 2-2

To lose a goal so near the end was disappointing but a draw was probably a fair result with a replay to come

A great performance by the lads and one they can all be proud off

Thanks to our hosts for the Hospitality shown after , most appreciated by all
