Largs Colts 2000 5 KSC Garnock 1

A cracking sunny afternoon at Barrfields for the Colts U16s final home game of the season against KSC Garnock.

The Colts got off to a flyer with inform striker Robbie Irvine netting on just two minutes after strong build up play from midfield with Max Huthwaite feeding to Alex Buchan who split the defence to find Irvine.

Early play saw Garnock push for an equaliser and on 16 minutes the Garnock striker found himself in the Colts box and one on one with Luca Giusti who made the challenge bringing down the Garnock player , the ref awarded the penalty and unfortunately for Giusti a red card for denying a goal scoring opportunity. Garnock netted the penalty and Colts faced the remainder of the match with 10 men.

Despite the setback, on 22 minutes, Colts regained the lead, Buchan again the provider with a great cross in from wide right to find the unmarked Mulraney flying in at the back post to slot home.

Shortly before half time, Largs had their third starting from a looped ball played in from Lewis Mynes went just beyond Irvine and brought a parried save from the Garnock keeper unfortunately hitting the back of a Garnock defender and with Irvine, sharp as ever, buzzing around chaos ensued as the Garnock defence tried to clear and somehow the ball ended in the back of the net.

The second half was only five minutes old when with good pressing Largs stole possession deep in the Garnock half, Irvine picking up the ball and driving at the Garnock left back and smashing the ball high into the roof of the net from a seemingly impossible wide angle.

Colts final goal came on 50 minutes with Murdoch dispossessing the Garnock winger and driving forward to play in Irvine who outpaced the defence and slotted home for his hat trick.

A few final changes with Ryan Wallace , Ewan McKee , James Allen & Kieran Welsh all coming on to replace tired legs and see out an excellent win for 10 man Colts.

Largs Colts would like to thank FLR Spectron for their continued support.
