Bo地ess
scored a welcome victory
at Oakley to maintain a
slim hope of staying in
the Super League.
The first
half proved to be a dour
affair with neither team
dominating but with five
minutes to go before the
break Bo地ess went ahead
when Scott Brown
run past Willie
Newbigging and beat
Greig Maitland to the
ball stabbing a shot
under the Oakley keeper.
Into the
second half and Scott
Mauchline run in on goal
only to be fouled by
Oakley captain Robert
Duffin. The referee
awarded Bo地ess a
penalty and the Oakley
player was shown a red
card presumably for
preventing a goal
scoring opportunity.
Kevin Donnelly put
the ball in the net but
was ordered to retake
the kick and he made no
mistake and the second
effort again whizzed
past a helpless Greig
Maitland.
The ten
men rallied and pulled a
goal back in 63 minutes
as James Lister
was perfectly positioned
at the back post to
convert Ryan Ewing痴 low
cross. Oakley tried to
get level but it was
Bo地ess who had the
final say with a goal in
82 minutes. Jon Mitchell
lost the ball but did
well to win it back and
he released Kevin
Donnelly who weaved
across the box before
slamming a great shot
past Greig Maitland.
Defeat at Oakley would
have meant certain
relegation for Bo地ess
and though they are
still favourites to go
down there is still the
possibility of top tier
survival.
