A fairly even start to another must win game with Abronhill making the better early chances.  Best of the lot chance to put us 1-0 up when Kev rounded the keeper only to centre it for Billy who headed wide of an open goal.  Not long after, they went up the park and scored after some slack play which had Danny moaning moaning at the midfield, forwards and people walking their dogs for not trying hard enough. The goal (and Danny’s rant) was the kick up the backside Abronhill needed after a lethargic opening 30 mins and almost straight from the restart, Tony scored direct from a corner kick that embarrassed the Hamilton defender who had fallen asleep leaning on the near post.

Next incident in the game brought back vintage memories of crap players who bleed to much such as Dado Prso, Richard Gough, Terry Butcher and Mark McCluskey.  Kev went up for a header at an Abronhill throw in and the resultant clash of heads with Wanderers centre half seen both players leave the pitch, their defender with an eye resembling Frank Bruno’s regardless of who he was fighting and Kev with a fractured skull.  While the Wanderers defender poofed out of returning to the fray, Magical Michael McGowan™ thought quickly and convinced Kev, who couldn’t remember who he was, that he was a striker and sent him back on with a bandage that made Mark McCluskey look like a fashion icon.

1-1 at halftime and not for the first time this season, Abronhill emerged for the 2nd half looking like a different team. 

 The Iceman™ emerged for the 2nd half playing like a man possessed, a standout in a really good team effort.  First Michael split their defence with a ball over the top from the right for Kev to get in behind slip the ball past the oncoming keeper for 2-1.  The man with the bandage soon made it two following the move of the match.  A ball won by Kev in midfield was switched to Michael on the right who moved easily past their left back before pinging a great ball to the back post for Kev to rise above the right back and with a flash of the bandage, the ball was nestling in the back of the net.

Goals 4 & 5 followed in quick succession, both scored by Kev and while still celebrating this 4th goal in 10mins, Billy decided it was time for Kev to be subbed and having slipped Jack a tenner, the switch was swiftly made, Iain the man coming on.

With the game won, the ‘Hill understandably took the foot off the pedal and frustratingly lost a couple of cheap goals but Abronhill continued to create chances and Iain was unlucky to see a great strike come off the inside of the post.  With the score at 5-3, Tony ensured that the 3 points would be safe with a surging run into the box down the left leaving the defender in his wake and centering the ball for Billy at the near post to get a goal his usual work rate and attitude totally deserved.

Good 2nd half performance and rumours that Billy R Superstar was rooting around in the bin looking for the Bandage after the game are as yet unconfirmed!  Michael McQuillan should feel robbed at not getting MOM.
