Penicuik Ath v Broxburn Ath

A poor display first half gave Penicuik the platform to take all three points four goals shipped by long ball tactics was not easy on the eye .The second half was much better but we gave ourselves far to much to do following the first half collapse .Positives we did look better the second half and on another day chances created may have gone our way but we just have to dust ourselves down and go to Kirkcaldy next week and put in a performance that can see us through to the next round of the Conservatory Convertors Fife & Lothian’s cup .(match report on matches & fixtures asap )
