McBookie Ayrshire District League

ARDEER THISTLE 3

ANNBANK UNITED 1

ANNBANK must be wondering how they lost this match.

They were leading 1-0 with Ardeer down to 10 men but went to pieces in the last 15 minutes.

It was all Bankies early on and in three minutes, Roddy Paterson squared the ball to Jamie Martin but he shot wide.

Four minutes later, Paterson again got behind the Ardeer defence and cut the ball back to MacLean Simpson, but he dragged his shot wide.

Ardeer began to come into the match and Marc Fisher was beaten by a shot that rebounded from the bar.

Annbank's Ryan Connelly cut inside a defender but could not find the target with his shot.

Annbank went ahead in 62 minutes when Scott Granger played the ball to Paterson, who drove into the net.

Ardeer were reduced to 10 men when they had a player ordered off for an incident involving one of his own players.

Thistle drew level six minutes later when Grant Kirkwood was played into trouble with a poor pass and his mistake allowed Kennedy to equalise.

Ardeer took the lead in 73 minutes, Holden making the most of another mistake and netting.

The scoring was completed in the final minute when a needless handball resulted in a penalty which was netted by Reid..

ANNBANK: M Fisher, Hainey, Baird, Kirkwood, T Sloan, Martin, L Sloan, Connelly, Simpson, Paterson. Subs: C Fisher, Trialist, Trialist.
