Tannahill 'A' 8-3 Croft 1/9/07

     

If it's goals and entertainment you are after, then you could do worse than go along and watch Tannahill 'A' this season. After 2 matches they have scored thirteen goals. A bit more worringly though, they have conceded eight, but remain unbeaten.

Despite the five goal winning margin, it is the general feeling that Tannahill could and should have won this match by many more. A combination of sloppy goals conceded and failing to bury chances could be costly in other games, but this time, Tans had enough to see off the league newcomers.

Thomas Robertson, started the rout with a low shot which the goalkeeper should have dealt with, but let the ball slip through his legs and into the net. Robertson soon followed up with a second. This time his free kick took a slight deflection off the head of a Croft defender and past the goalkeeper.

Not to be outdone, Lee McMenamay got in on the act and the first of his four strikes came when he latched on to a long ball from James Montgomery and rounded the kepper to put Tans three up. Young McMenamay soon added his second in similar fashion, this time electing to neatly chip his efffort over the keeper.

HALF TIME 4-0

As of the previous week, Tans seemed to hit a slump in the second half and allowed their opponents to get back into the match. Perhaps they thought the game was already dead and buried and stopped doing the simple things which saw them dominate the first half.

For all that, Tans extended their lead when McMenamay claimed his hat-trick from the penalty spot, but soon after, Croft pulled two goals back. The first was a fine strike which gave the keeper no chance and the second after a cross from the left wasn't dealt with properly by the Tans defence.

Tannahill took control again with the sixth and perhaps the best goal of the game. John McGrath cleverly flicked the ball round his marker on the halfway line to send himself clear before cilinically dispatching it into the net. Robertson then claimed his hat-trick when he pounced on a poor pass and made his way towards goal before finishing neatly with the outside of his foot.

Tannahill then conceded a penalty when William McMenamay upended the Croft striker as he raced clear. The Tans defender was lucky to escape a red card as it appeared to deny a clear goalscoring opportunity. The spot kick was dispatched to reduce the deficit to four.

Lee McMenamay rounded off the scoring when he capitalised on some poor defending to steal the ball and calmly round the keeper again for his fourth of the day.

A good result for Tans, but still room for improvement.
