Blairwood
park was the venue of this weeks match against Oakley United in the
Whyte and Mackay East Super League. Only other match being played today
was Arniston Rangers at home to Glenrothes. Port new a win was vital for
their league challenge and started strongly for the opening 15 minutes
with Derek Wemyss going close with a header from a corner on the right.
Oakley came close on 25 minutes with a right foot strike skimming past
Frazer Fitzpatricks right hand upright. 28 minutes and the Port dugout
were giving it peltters when a strong penalty claim was turned down by
the officials. Port controlled most of the play in the opening period
with a hard working Oakley defence the Port attack found them difficult
to penetrate. Second half and Oakley found the stiff breeze in their
favour and started to test the Tayport defence without creating many
chances. 55 minutes and a VERY strong penalty claim was turned down when
Sean Christie was sent tumbling to the ground while making a run to
connect with a cross from the right. More weird decisions were to follow
for both camps. 65 minutes and Oakley came close with a deflected shot
heading out for a corner. 77 minutes and what looked like a goal bound
header from Ben Honeyman inched over the crossbar. The match had 0-0
written all over it when in the 82nd minute Steven Stewart
lined up a strike from 30 yards letting loose a left foot cannon which
was curling away from the Oakley keeper ending up in the top right hand
corner of the goal. Oakley tried hard to salvage a draw coming inches
close with a header in the 91st minute which shave the
crossbar. F Fitzpatrick, R Gunnion, G Paterson, J Ward, D Wemyss, R Morris, S Stewart, B NcNaughton B Honeyman, S Christie, S Peters Subs Used G Dailly J Elliot. |
