Normandy Star 1 Lochside Club 4

Normandy hosted Lochside Club, having beaten them twice already this season, but with Lochside on a good run of form. It was the visitors who started the brightest, closing down and not giving Normandy any time to settle. A ball played between the defenders and a good run from the striker saw Lochside go one up on 16 minutes and a couple of minutes later a loose ball was picked up in midfield and the shot from distance nestled into the side of the net for 2.0. Normandy gradually got a foothold in the game and finished the half strongly with a succession of corners but were unable to capitalise. A third goal early in the second half put Lochside firmly in control as the striker turned on the edge of the box and finished well. Normandy huffed and puffed to try and get back into the game and on the hour mark a through ball set Harper free to score from a narrow angle. Normandy continued to push but good defending and fine goalkeeping kept them at bay and in stoppage time Lochside grabbed a fourth to cap a well earned victory.
