This match report is written by Kev McQuillan with additional info from Michael McG.

After a brief break from action while those competing in the Scottish Cup knocked their pans in, Abronhill returned to league action refreshed from a weekend off.

In the gaffer’s absence, a couple of surprises were sprung in a very attacking the staring line-up.  While Kanye returning to the line-up in place of Jack ensured that Danny would feel not just cold but also very, very white and lacking in confidence (by comparison), 4 forwards played from the start ensuring that Abronhill would attack from the start.  However, the biggest surprises were left for Midfield.  The Judge climbed off the bench to regain a starting slot (has anyone else noticed that if Raymond had blonde spikey hair he’d look like John AND Edward??) and joining him in the engine room was the Iceman – a bold move.

To cut a long story short, Deanpark couldn’t live with Abronhill.  With the backline as solid as it’s been all season and the Iceman rewarding the faith of the team selectors (who’s claiming the credit??) with a solid display, the forward line terrorised Deanparks defence and in particular, the moaniest keeper ever heard…except big Gaz ‘Peter Griffin’ Cooper.

5-0 at half time could easily have been 8 but for near misses by Kev (header from a M³©®™♂άΩ cutback), Shaun (after a terrific surging run from wide right) and a couple of near things from Billy R.  However, a 20min hat-trick from M³©®™♂άΩ ensured the game would never be in doubt.

ATTENTION: The next three goals are described by Micahel McGowan:

A dangerous ball into the box from the magnificent right back found its way to M³©®™♂άΩ. An instinctive looping right-footed volley saw the ball nestle in the corner of the net.

A great through ball from the impressive IceMan™ sent  M³©®™♂άΩ through on goal. The highly impressive number 7 galloped gazelle-like through the defence, ignoring Kev and Billy’s squealing, before sending the keeper the wrong way for his second of the game.

It was soon the turn of our left back to provide an assist, a great ball into the box from Ants found the unmarked M³©®™♂άΩ. With plenty still to do the handsome striker elegantly caressed the ball in off the post with a quite naughty back heeled volley. With his hat-trick complete M³©®™♂άΩ started dreaming about his certain Man of the match award

I do know however that a vintage 1^st half display from M³©®™♂άΩ was capped with a great run down the wing after a through ball by Joe and this time, his 2^nd perfect cutback of the day was coolly slotted past the keeper by The Judge – verdict?  GOOOAALLL! 

Kev made it 5 with a flash of those magic new boots (left foot and everything) after brilliant play and a pinpoint cross from the left by Superstar.

2^nd half initially saw more of the same.  5-0 became 7 inside 10 mins as Kev sealed a hatrick, first hitting the top corner from 10 yards after more great wing play, this time down the right from Shaun and finally tapping into an empty net after Billy R refused to let a ball roll harmlessly out of play for a by-kick.

At that stage, great attitude and even better banter from Deanpark.  One defender shouting “DIVE HIM FOR BOOKING REF” after wee Ross came on to prove that simulation in the game is a growing problem.  Perhaps the hilarity put us off our game a bit but personally, I’d blame Joe and Danny who prioritised a wedding over keeping a clean sheet.( After they left , honestly we feared a draw was on the cards!) . Its got to be said the defence had a solid game game throughout

Special mention for the ref who did more running in his warm-up than most of our refs do in 90mins and certainly more than Josie does in a season.
