Camelon v Broxburn Ath

Report

Attendance 170

The home side took the initiative from the kick off and Mitchel Taylor was allowed to run at the defence before seeing his shot at goal deflected for a corner by Craig Newall .Darren Gribben sent a good ball in from the left  but his team mate sent his attempt just wide right of the target . A free kick into the box by Greenhill was met by the challenge of the keeper and Gary Brass who was adjudged to have fouled the keeper . On 17 minutes a corner to the back post was headed back in to the danger area by Wright but Andrew Gillen shot over the bar from six yards out . The home side opened the scoring on 25 minutes when a good move ended up with MICHAEL TAYLOR who turned Adam Murray before firing past Connor Wallace . Just after the half hour mark Darren Gribben forced a save from Wallace . The home side doubled their  advantage on 33 minutes when Jackson Cowan lofted a ball into the box and Connor Wallace came to claim it it somehow slipped through his hands and fell at the feet of MITCHELL TAYLOR who had the easiest tasks to stroke the ball into the unguarded net .  A minute later a corner in to the visitors box found the feet of on fire Taylor but this time his shot did not trouble Wallace who gathered easily .. With the first half coming to a close Gary Brass saw a good header well saved . Jordan Wright saw an effort from an incoming corner go just over the bar .

Darren Gribben was the first to try for goals in the second have on 47 minutes but Wallace saved comfortably in the end . Taylor was going for his hat trick when he fired a shot from 18 yards that Wallace saved and gathered at second attempt . Ross Allum had a chance on 61 minutes but couldn’t get the bouncing ball under control to get a proper shot away . With light fading the floodlights were switched on in 66 mins not only did this switch the lights on it switched the visitors on too as 2 minutes later a Greenhill corner in from the left was met by the unmarked GORDON DONALDSON who headed home . The visitors were on level terms 3 minutes later when a corner into the box was cleared out to half way where Tom Cowley sent the ball straight back into the box where Mark Sharp half cleared the ball to Jordan Wright who headed down to GARY BRASS who fired home into the bottom left hand corner with Jakub Welna  in the home goal no where . Broxburn almost took the lead when Ross Nimmo fired a ball across the box but was agonisingly to much in front of Binnie running in on goal . A good run by Aidan Mclduff sent the ball out to Lewis McArthur who’s ball into the box was stopped by Murray and cleared by Greenhill .  . At the other end a throw in to Gary Brass saw the forwards attempt deflect for a corner just past the right post . Deep into injury time a timely tackle at one end saw the visitors break to the other with four attackers charging down the home defence Ross Nimmo got the ball on the right and fired a ball low across the box where this time GREG BINNIE timed his run to perfection to score the winner from six yards out to the delight of the Broxburn Contingent .

In the end a great fight back and showed the spirit that is in this squad . Nobody would have gave an earthly of them taking anything from the game at half time . The fact at  2-2 and deep into the long injury time added on we had four forwards chasing forward looking for a winner speaks volumes for them all . Next week we have a Challenge cup tie at Blantyre Vics  Saturday 20th November with a 1-30pm kick off (please note kick off Time ) . Details of admission procedures will be posted when we get them .
