Match report

‘Colts push up to sixth position in the Lowland League table after a 3-1 victory over Gretna at Broadwood.

Despite the cold and wet conditions, both sides provided an entertaining match from the first whistle with end-to-end, fast-paced football.

Young Mark McCaffrey would open the scoring fairly early on in the 12th minute with an excellent, curling finish from just outside of the box.

Gretna would begin to force their way into the match as time went on, and they would get their reward as Sean McKenzie would send them level from a corner in the 27th minute.

It wouldn’t be long until we would go back in front as Josh Jack would be the one to get the final touch after a scrap within the six-yard box.

We would go into the break 2-1 up and come back out looking to reinforce that advantage.

The second half would be fairly even, with ‘Colts unable to capitalise on a few very good chances to get the third goal earlier than we did.

The goal would come towards the end of the match through Josh Jack in the 84th minute after some very good team play.

Another strong three points and a position gained in our aim to finish as high in the league as possible.
