Cairneyhill 2 Spurs 0

Spurs narrowly lost out to Cairneyhill in this friendly match, but with spurs missing Murray, Rutherford, Thaw, Beattie & Thomson the team gave a great account of themselves. On a difficult pitch that resembled a cow field the first two periods remained goalless, with the home side creating the better chances. In the final period R Leitch had the ball in the Cairneyhill net after a scramble in the box, but the ref disallowed the goal for offside. The home side then hit the bar as they broke through the Spurs defence. Cairneyhill broke the deadlock with a somewhat fortunate goal, after a scramble in the Spurs box the ball was deflected into the net off a Cairneyhill player. Spurs mounted several good attacks, Brown unlucky with a good break forward. Moodie was next to break through on goal, but delayed his shot & the chance was gone. Moodie then got on the end of a cross,. but his header was cleared off the line. Barclay once again kept Spurs in the game with two exceptional saves, the second diving to his left & scooping the ball out when the shot looked to be heading into the net. Cairneyhill scored a second goal with another scrambled shot inside the box in the dying minutes.
