Match report
A tough day at the office for Easthouses seen local rivals Newtongrange Star run out comfortable winners in this derby match. To compound matters for the visitors, injuries to Chris Taylor and David Curran added to the ever growing injury list. The score-line rightly so suggests Newtongrange dominated the match but for the away side, they will be kicking themselves going in 4-1 down at the break after losing goals in the 44th and 46th minute.
With 10 players missing in last week’s defeat to Tranent, the visitors were delighted to welcome back Daniel Findlay, David Arthur, Paul McDermott and Mark Brown to the starting line-up. Still with a host of players missing for various reasons, the bench included goalkeeping coach Stevie Hay and coach Gavin Tainsh.
Please note the below report has been taken from the Midlothian Advertiser:
Before the game both sets of players and supporters impeccably observed a minute’s silence for former Star player and Life member David Pryde who passed away last Wednesday.
Star got off to the perfect start when they went in front inside a minute. A long diagonal ball was played into Hunter and he duly dispatched past Lily keeper Findlay – although there were question marks over who got the final touch, Hunter wheeled away claiming it.
On 22 minutes, Lily conceded again as Porteous’ clever moment enabled him to escape the clutches of Findlay to flick the ball home at the near post from Hunter’s delivery. Lily were given a lifeline when a mix-up at the back between Scott Swaney and goalkeeper Keiron Renton allowed Beattie to prod the ball home for Easthouses.
Star increased their lead to 3-1 after 44 minutes when substitute Forster nodded home at the back post before debutant Thomson unleashed a 30-yard drive to make 4-1 a minute later. The floodgates had opened up and Star added a fifth on 47 minutes as Hunter raced on to Forster’s flick on before the rounding keeper and rolling the ball home.
Easthouses struggled with Hunter all afternoon and he completed his hat trick when he bulldozed his way through and bundled home, Star completed the scoring two minutes later when Hunter turned provider for Thomson, who found the bottom corner with a first-time effort.
A difficult afternoon in the end of the away side. The side can now re-group and welcome players back from holidays and look to go again when they visit Ormiston in the SFA South Region Challenge Cup 2nd round.
