Hutchison Vale Colts Vs Caledonian

4th round Scottish Cup

The game started with Caledonian very much on top,they pressed Hutchie back for the first twenty minutes but in fairness Hutchie defended really well and kept the visitors chances to minimum,Hutchie did struggle to clear our lines sometimes but Caley couldn't carve out a clear chance with Steele only having to make one stop with his feet during this period.As the half wore on Hutchie stated to find their feet in this game and were starting to win the midfield battle and getting more and more possession,they forced a series of corners and the Caley goal was lucky to stay intact mainly due to fantastic heriocs from their goalie who made save after save to deny Hutchie.When the half time whistle blew Caley must have been relieved because they received a battering in the last fifteen minutes of the half.

Half-Time 0-0

Caley scored within 5 minutes of the restart to take the lead,the forward was allowed to turn easily in the box and put the ball into Steele's bottom left corner.This could have put Hutchie's heads down but it didn't, and 10 minutes later we were back on level terms,a corner wasn't cleared by Caley and the ball fell to centre half Bruce Gorrie 12 yards out and he fired it low through a crowded penalty box into the bottom corner to make it 1-1.Hutchie then moved up a gear and within minutes it was 2-1,Mrac Berry picked up the ball and went on a great run down wing and skinned the full back to cross to the unmarked Caillean Gall who hit the ball high over the keeper and into the net.From then on Hutchie were in full control of the game and duly scored the third with 5 minutes to go,Bradley Rixon picked up the ball at the halfway line and went on a lungbursting run and just as he looked like he had ran too far he slotted it home from the tightest of angles to make it 3-1 to send the Colts into the last 16 of the Scottish.

Full-Time 3-1

A great performance and attitude from the whole squad including those unfortunate not to get on the park.
