McBookie Ayrshire District League

ARDEER THISTLE 0

MAYBOLE 2

MAYBOLE got off to the perfect start in the Ayrshire League with a comfortable victory at Ardeer Stadium.

Thistle had the wind advantage in the first half,14 but neither side made any clear-cut chances and the interval arrived with the scoreline blank.

Maybole took the lead in 50 minutes a long throw-in from Fraser McMillan found Chris Allan at the back post and he controlled the ball before

netting. Fifteen minutes later the score was doubled when a fine run down the wing by Ross Clark ended with him cutting the ball back to Allan who netted his second

of the match.

Maybole were reduced to 10 men a minute later when Calum McDade was given a second yellow card.

Ardeer with a man advantage had more of the play after this but the Maybole defence held firm to clinch all three points.

MAYBOLE: McCauley. McMillan, Connor, Warren, Peacock, Lowe, Gardiner, McCubbin, Allan, McDade, Clark. Subs: Bloy, Nimmo, Walker, Lyle.
