G: Lucas Birnstingl
D: Paul Murphy/Murray Soutar/James Fraser/Blair Yule
DM: Luidgi Hoareau
M: Connor Lyall/Barna Tott/Callum Hill
AMC: Matt Bell
ST: Tom Woods

9 - Hill sends the free kick to Woods in the box. He doesn't like the double team so he outlets back to Hill who dribbles to the right side of the box and crosses. Lyall has his man beat and rises to smash in a header goal 1-0

Currie goes in for Woods at the half

58 - Kelman replaces Bell

73 - Soutar makes an incredible interception and taps it to Lyall for the backpass to Murphy. Stunning longball has Currie with only the keeper to beat and he does. 2-0

Jack Currie delivers an 8.2 PotM outing off the bench and will be back in the lineup next game. Barna Tott posted a 7.5 as the other star.

And we officially lock up promotion!!!

vs Symington Tinto AFC (3rd)
G: Lucas Birnstingl
D: Paul Murphy/Murray Soutar/James Fraser/Blair Yule
DM: Murray Grant
M: Connor Lyall/Luidgi Hoareau/Callum Hill
AMC: Matt Bell
ST: Jack Currie

There were a lot of sniping words back and forth before the game. They've won 7 straight, but don't look that good to me, and this match is about fighting for the league lead - we've already guaranteed we're going up next year, so it's all about locking down that championship.

3 - Hill looks amped AF for this one and he charges hard to steal the ball. A cross-pitch rocket falls into Currie's line on the left side and he hits a booming cross to the right side. Hill has two defenders beat and kicks in his first ever Cambria goal!!!! 1-0

37 - Soutar has been making interception after interception on the backline, and he does here, too. Eventually, it's Grant winging out to Hoareau for the aerial ball to Currie. It takes our leading scorer time to trap and control it, but when he does, his shot torches the net to atone for an earlier shank. 2-0

57 - Lyall and Bell snag breathers, Shearer and Kelman jogging in for them

All box to wire starters other than the keeper had 7.0 or higher, keyed by Luidgi Hoareau (PotM - 7.9), Callum Hill (7.8), and Jack Currie (7.6). This was a huge victory.

@ Weirs Recreation (4th)
G: Lucas Birnstingl
D: Paul Murphy/Murray Soutar/James Fraser/Blair Yule
DM: Murray Grant
M: Connor Lyall/Luidgi Hoareau/Callum Hill
AMC: Matt Bell
ST: Jack Currie

2 - Hill's indirect free kick goes to Soutar's head for the score, and the latter has been an absolutely incredible pickup for us since the deadline 1-0

46 - Lyall recovers his own corner and sends to Hoareau in the box. Our Frenchman is forced back, back, back, until he finds Bell in the middle. Kickback to Hoareau and he passes forward to Lyall. Feed to Currie in the half-circle and the long-range strike sings home just before half 2-0

58 - Hoareau drops to DM, Tott comes in, and Lyall is replaced at ML by Shearer

61 - Yule got beat badly on that one 2-1

Jack Currie pretty much won this one by himself with an 8.2 rating. We really slacked off in the second half.

Five games to go, and our biggest match of the year is on tap.
