Carrick scrape win in low scoring tussle

Print | Email

Mull 0 Carrick 3

Carrick made the long journey to Mull and started strongly with a light breeze at their backs.

They kept the home team in their own half for long periods and in the few Mull attacks the Carrick defence was very good.

At half time Carrick had scored a moral victory but the scoreboard was blank.

In the second half again Carrick had long spells of dominance without any score but with only two minutes left stand off Hugh Smith kicked a lovely 25 yard drop goal into the breeze to give the visitors a hard earned win.

On Saturday Carrick travel to Scotstoun to play Hyndland with Kick Off 3 pm.

Carrick :- Zander Kerr, Scott Shearlaw, Ewan Alexander, Gary Thomson, Peter McTaggart, Duncan McKellar, Hugh Smith, Ewan McKay, Scott Alexander, Robert Kennedy, Mark Robb, Michael Eaglesham, Simpson McCreath, Ally MacIntosh, Willie Wyllie.

Subs: - Sam Barker, Grant Alexander, Alastair Pollock, Anderson Brest.
