Cambuslang Rangers 1-2 Hurlford
Stagecoach Super 1st Division
Saturday 19th February
at Somervell Park
Cambuslang crashed at home to Hurlford
at the weekend in a pretty dull encounter at Somervell Park.
The home side had hoped to build on the
3-0 win over Saltcoats the previous week but Hurlford had other ideas and left
Somervell with the 3 points courtesy of a 2-1 win.
Once again this season saw Manager and
Assistant list themselves as Substitutes such is the injury list at Somervell
Park
In a pretty un eventful first 45 there
was very little on show from either side. The first real talking point came on
the half hour mark when the visitors were reduced to 10 men. Caddis saw red
after picking up his second booking of the match after a very late tackle on
Lang defender Martin Feenie. Feenie never recovered from the tackle and was
replaced at the interval.
Just as half time was approaching it
was the visitors who made the breakthrough. They broke up field and Robertson
shot from 20 yards and the usually reliable Rowan somehow allowed the ball to
squirm under him and it ended up in the back of the net. He real should have
saved it.
H-T 0-1
Lang came out for the second half minus
Feenie, his place taken by McGrath.
Cambuslang had a good spell of pressure
at the beginning of the half but were not forcing the keeper to work.
Cambuslang fell further behind after 50 minutes. Another break up the park saw
3 Lang defenders fail to clear the danger and ball fell to Robertson to grab
his and Hulrfords 2nd of the game.
Cambuslang replied instantly and pulled
a goal back on 51 minutes. Coulter the scorer after a good move. The tackles
were beginning to fly in now as Hurlford sat back on the narrow advantage
but Cambuslang just couldn't find the leveller. On the hour mark Cambuslang
should have equalised when Brown headed over the bar from 6 yards.
And 5 minutes later McCrae hit the bar
with a fine free kick but that's was as close as Cambuslang were to get
and the game fizzled out and Hurlford left with a valuable 3 points.
