This is when the season really
starts , with the lads having to play the last few weeks in games which
have not tested them it was with anticipation we welcomed Spartan’s another
Division 1 team in the 2nd round of the Scottish Cup , how would the
Hutchie Boys perform ?
On a perfect morning for
football this was a great match for a neutral with two contrasting styles on
display one team dominating possession and chances the other happy to sit back
and play on the counter attack
In the first minute Jamie broke
through and rounded the keeper but lost his footing just as he was about to
roll the ball home , almost immediately a long
clearance sent the Spartans forward clear but Gregor made a great stop to keep
him out.
The game was now being
dominated by Hutchie but our visitors never seemed to be out of the match, Rob
went close on a couple of occasions with their keeper saving well and Jamie was
a constant threat and another run resulted in his shot rebounding out after
smacking the post .
Then Kevin broke through and
fired a great shot which beat the keeper but amazingly smashed the underside of
the bar and bounced out to safety , minutes later
Jamie also had a great shot and it was with disbelief that we watched his shot
also crash off the underside of the bar and bounce to safety
Just when we thought it was one
of those days Jamie made a good run and finished well into the corner 1-0.
Spartans managed another
breakout but Gregor got down well to block and the half ended.
HT 1-0
Second half began with the same
pattern although very few clear cut chances if possession won matches then the
game would have been over and from another Hutchie attack Spartans cleared
their lines and their player sped through and finished well to make it 1 -1 .
Hutchie were rocked by this and
Spartans for the first time started to gain a foothold in the match slowly
Hutchie started to get back into the match and with time running out Jamie
seemed to be fouled on the edge of the box Penalty with seconds remaining
Connor stepped up but dragged
his shot wide and the full time whistle went 1-1
Extra Time
Hutchie went straight on the
attack and it was surely only a matter of time before the lads would make the
break through and a good run by Rob resulted in a low shot which found the
corner 2-1.
Ht 2-1
Second period began and almost
immediately Jamie got in the box and drilled a low shot home 3-1 the tie was
now safe and before the end a great sweeping move ended with Rob crossing for
Sean to slide the ball home 4-1
Final Score 4-1
A great match with both teams making
this an excellent match well handled by the ref who kept the game flowing well
