Two minutes later A ball played out to the left found Ross Montgomery who crossed into the box and found KEITH LOUGH totally unmarked in the middle of the box to shoot past the unprotected Connor Wallace in goals .Penicuik doubled their lead seven minutes later when a ball through the defence found AARON SOMERVILLE with only Wallace to beat and he fired into the bottom left hand corner . Darrell Young could have made it three but Connor saved his header well and the chance was cleared . Half way through the half Youssef Bejaoui in the hosts goal made a great one handed save from Kieron Anderson .On thirty five minutes it was 3-0 when another ball into the box was headed home unchallenged into the net by DARRELL YOUNG . A corner into the box saw the visitors get back into the game when the ball was cleared back out to Anderson he put the ball back in and after a bit of panicky defending the ball fell to ROSS DONNELLY to prod the ball home from close range . A minute before half time Penicuik gave them selves a three goal cushion with AARON SOMERVILLE got on the end of a ball into the box to score his second . On the half time whistle a great run and ball into the box was cut out with visiting forwards ready to pounce .
