Whitehill Welfare v Broxburn Athletic

Att 150 aprox

The game kicked off in perfect sunshine conditions and a good game was in prospect with both clubs needing to get points on the board . The pattern of the game was there from the start with a Cameron Ross corner meeting the head of Jordan Wright who saw his header well saved by Ross Gilpin in the hosts goals . Sean Ward had the first attempt for Whitehill on 8 minutes when he shot from 20yards out but saw it whiz past the left hand post . The visitors had a scare on ten minutes when a poor pass back was intercepted by Wayne Macintosh and he raced through into the box  but Shaun Harrison got back and robbed the striker and cleared the danger . The same player at the other end got on the end of a corner but was Shaun  disappointed to see it just miss the target wide right . A minute later Ross Nimmo set up Joe Tait who’s shot went past the post. The opening goal came on 25 minutes when good play down the left saw a ball played out to CAMERON ROSS 24 yards out to fire home into the bottom right hand corner .

Tyler Oneill tried an effort from 30 yards a couple of minutes later but it sailed over the bar . Broxburn Lost their player manager to injury on 27 minutes . Broxburn should have doubled their lead on 34 minutes but offside ruled out a god move and finish from Cameron Ross . The second did come on 40 minutes when a Ross Nimmo free kick into the box was challenged for by Jordan Wright forcing BLAIR TOLMIE to put the ball past his own keeper . The visitors started well on top in the second half and could have doubled the score line in the first ten minutes of the second half with Jackson Barker shaving the woodwork being the closest . The pressure continued and the home keeper had some inspiring saves to keep his team in it . There was concern from everybody when a Whitehill defender got the full force of a Jordan Wright shot on the face laying him out for a few minutes before being able to get up and walk off . Joe tait was causing all sorts of trouble for the home defence and once again Gilpin came to the home team’s rescue saving well for a corner . Jordan Wright forced another save from the keeper on 72 minutes getting on the end of a corner . A minute later Tait saw an other effort saved well by the keeper . Again it was Tait who got on the end of a long ball and the high ball deceived the keeper as Joe got round him and shot but a defender  got back to clear . The visitors were going for more and a Cameron Ross shot came off the bar and away from danger  on 76minutes Two minutes later Greg Binnie was the frustrated player has his shot was saved brilliantly by Gilpin . It was wave upon wave of Broxburn pressure and Greg Nicol will want to forget about his chance that came off the bar from six yards out with the goal gaping on 79 minutes . Ross had a shot go just wide on 84 minutes .Whitehill had the final chance on 85 minutes when the midfielder from 35 yards out saw his ball just clear the bar with the home side claiming there was a touch from Connor Wallace but the officials were having none of it .

Broxburn went straight up the park and Joe Tait was fouled on the edge of the box . ROSS NIMMO stepped up and fired home into the top left hand corner . Broxburn thought they equalised on the hour mark but somehow Jackson Barker was called offside from a cut back from Tait  to the dismay of the visitors camp . The last opportunity came when Jack Beesley crossed from inside the right hand side but the big keeper grabbed the ball at the second attempt .

On 5 minutes Shaun Harrison sent a free kick into the box from the left but his ball in eluded everybody and went by the right hand post for a bye kick .Ten minutes into the game and Paul Tansey sent a cross over but was too strong for everybody and it cleared the danger area .

Good pressure from the home side saw Cammie Ross effort deflect for a corner on 15 minutes . The corner in was blocked and then fell to Ross Hutchieson who’s goal bound effort was headed clear and over the bar by Ryan Baptie .Penicuik saw two shots blocked on 18 minutes before Aaron Somerville fired a shot wide left from 18 yards . Straight up the other end a free kick 30 yards out from Cammie Ross saw Robert Watt make a excellent save pushing the ball round his post for a corner . Cammie saw an effort after a good run go wildly over the bar .

A minute later the deadlock was broke with a long ball over the home defence saw PAUL TANSEY clear to beat Connor Wallace in the home goal  to put the visitors in front .

Penicuik had the first effort in the second half when Tansey saw his shot gathered by Wallace . Aaron Somerville made space but shot wide and high on 51 minutes . Tansey made a good run down the left but was to strong with his cross and it went out for a throw in .  Great play down the right saw a great ball into Greg Binnie six yards out but his effort went straight at the keeper .

Broxburn Ath levelled things on 57 minutes when CAMERON ROSS gathered the ball down the left before sending a cross come shot into the box that found the far top right hand corner of the net .

Cameron Dawson tried to catch Wallace out with a free kick from just inside the Broxburn half but Wallace gathered easily . With the game nearing the end  the action in the last 15 minutes produced more talking points . Great play again saw a final shot from Joe Tait go just wide left . The visitors took the lead on 83 minutes when a corner into the six yard box was blocked twice before CAMERON DAWSON  forced the ball over the line  . With Broxburn pushing for an equaliser a long ball over the top saw AIDEN WELSH clear in a suspiciously offside position   free to run round Wallace unchallenged to seal the points with the home defence stunned there was no flag from the near side assistant .

Penicuik found time for a fourth in the last embers of the game with LUMBER KATELEZA scoring .

Disappointing the game ended this way as it was a tight close affair that no team deserved to lose the score line that it finished  . We will regroup and go to Dunbar on Tuesday evening to start and pick up points .
