A point for the Wa keeps title race alive

The title race is at the business end now and Moffat Thistle have led from the start as they look to defend their title, but they face a stubborn Hole in the Wa side who have underachieved this term but wanted to show what they can do. Moffat raced into a two goal lead with a seventh minute corner taking a touch off the defender to open the scoring and before ten minutes were on the clock Julian Mills scored to put Moffat on cruise, The Wa fought back though and reduced the arrears before half time through Islam Kadyrov. Then just before the hour mark Moffat were reduced to ten men and The Wa were awarded a penalty which Chris Cloy duly converted, With 15 minutes to play the ten men of Moffat went ahead thanks to Callum Saunders but a second red card saw them have to hold out for the last ten with nine men. The Wa pushed and earned a point thanks to a Mark Zutic header. Normandy needed to take advantage of Moffat dropping points and they kept the pressure up with a comprehensive victory over Morton Youth. Top Scorer Michael McGhie helped himself to four with Tommy Goss and Mark Cravens both bagging a hat-trick. Aaron Halliday, Jordan Patterson and Cammy Sinclair were also all on target. Palmerston Colts climbed to third with a win in an high scoring match against Scaur. Chris Nelson got a double while Darren Kerr, Craig Kerr, Aaron Callender, Liam Malcolm and Bobby Brown also all scored with Scaur finding the net four times themselves. In the final Premier match Nithside came home from Annan with all three points thanks to a Thomas Nicholson brace and counters from Jordan Barker and Stefan Tate, with Callum Laurie and Mark Rogerson netting for Annan Town. FC Annan took another step towards the First Division title as they saw off Kelloholm by eight goals to three. Scott Kilpatrick scored twice for the visitors and Sandy King also scored, while Annan had eight different goalscorers in John Quinn, Jay Stubbs, Lewis Hawes, Steven Smith, mark Leesing, Chris Norval, Jimmy Reid and Martin McKeeman. Queens Bar ensured they kept pace with the leaders as they cruised to victory over Sands. Jamie Linwood and Rees Brown both scored twice and Jon Muir and Stuart Gall were also on target as Rab Porter kept a clean sheet. Summerhill are now mathematically unable to win the league and their play off hopes are fading as they lost to Ruthwell despite going ahead through a Brodie McKerlie free kick. Goals from Matty Donagher, Callum Sloan and Grant Bryson move Ruthwell two points behind Summerhill.
