Marr College vs Kyle Academy, Tuesday 8th September 2015

5/10/2015

 
The new season for the Under 15s South Ayrshire league started this afternoon, with the Marr boys hosting Kyle Academy on the brand new astro-grass pitch at Marr College. The sun was shining, and the scene was set for what was to be an excellent performance and well deserved victory for Marr on the opening day of the season.

Marr started the first half strongly, with the mixture of the S2 and S3 boys quickly gelling together and looking like a team that had played together for years. Despite the impressive start however, it was Kyle Academy that took the lead just five minutes before half time. The Marr defence had thought they had dealt with an attack from the visitors, with the ball cleared to the halfway line. One of Kyle’s centre halves collected the ball however, took two touches, and riffled a shot into the roof of Andrew Rowan’s net from 35 yards out, leaving the Marr keeper with no chance. Had the score stayed the same there is no doubt Kyle would have started the second half feeling they could go on and win the game. Marr showed fantastic fighting spirit however, and pulled level just one minute after going a goal behind. Darien Harris fired a cross in from the right wing, which was met by the head of Joe McInnes. After a finger-tip save from the Kyle keeper, Blair Craig was on hand to head home the rebound ensuring the home team would go into the half time break level.

Two minutes into the second half, and Marr had doubled their goal tally for the season. Another inch perfect cross from Harris was headed home by Cameron Reid from 15 yards out giving the home side a well deserved lead. Kyle Academy came back into the game after this set back and Rowan had two decent saves to keep his team in the lead. Marr always looked dangerous on the break however, and ten minutes from the end Blair Craig found himself in some space on the left wing. Craig caught the keeper off guard with an early shot which crept its way into the bottom far corner of the goals, making the score 3-1. Not content on sitting on this score line, Marr pushed forward and continued to create chances. Richard Jones fired a shot from just inside the box, which a Kyle defender blocked with a clear handball. The resulting penalty was excellently saved by the Kyle keeper, however Luke Smith was first to pounce on the loose ball and turned the rebound home to give the home side a very convincing, and well deserved 4-1 victory on the opening day of the season.
