EK 3 Colts 0
No Lowland League team goes to EK expecting to win but at half-time (0-0) the signs were good. We had not only held our own against them but, in my opinion, we had played the better football. Sadly, things changed in the second half. We missed a couple of opportunities to go in front and then they scored a goal from a well-worked move. After the goal, we pressed forward and that suited EK, especially their very talented and pacey left winger Adam Strachan. He had caused problems in the first half but with enough players back we managed to contain him, but in the second half when we had to push forward for an equaliser he knew that he only had to get around the right back and he was clear into the penalty area. He is certainly a player that needs to be doubled up on.
Anyway, despite the defeat, we are only one point behind the leaders and it is certainly no disgrace losing to EK away from home.
