4-1: M3s vs Western 3s (WD1) - 18/09/21

Hillhead come out on top against League leaders Western

After a disappointing draw against a spirited Clydesdale in their opening fixture of the season, Hillhead were aware of the importance of a positive result against league toppers Western.  With availability chaos, it was a huge boost when the squad were able to call up three players from their WD2 side after their match was called off.  All in all seven players played their first match of the season and for many their first match in years. 

With many unfamiliar faces, it was no surprise that it took Hillhead a while to settle into the match and found themselves 1-0 down after a brilliant deflected finish by one of the many impressive youngsters playing for Western.  The game then became a bit frenetic with no real structure from either team.   Chances came and went for both sides, with Hillhead edging it in terms of the number squandered.  Hillhead’s perseverance was rewarded though when poaching king Murray MacVicar tucked a rebound away.

Halftime: 1-1

“A first half full of huffing and puffing but no real quality”

With Western penetrating Hillhead’s zone with ease, some tactical changes were called for.  Needless to say, nobody followed these tactics and Hillhead went on to dominate the second half with three further goals.  Murray MacVicar on hand again and two corner conversions with Mike Sherry and Callum Boxall on target.  The larger squad undoubtedly paid dividends in hot and humid conditions as Hillhead ended the game with more energy.  Hillhead’s defence though should be championed for an excellent second half display which kept Western at bay.

Full time: 4-1

“A fiercely contested match with Hillhead deserved winners albeit the score line was harsh on Western”
