LATE  EDITION - SATURDAY 10/05/2008
Copy No. 139865


Welcome to this weeks issue of not the PINK NEWS.  Since not the PINK NEWS  was launched just a couple of years ago, it has gone from strength to strength, thanks to the commitment of Junior football fans from all over.  We have had thousands of hits on the Pink Pages and the hit rate is growing each week.  At the end of last season we introduced pictures to the page.  Each report can now be accompanied by a picture of that day's action.

We are still looking for fans from a number of clubs to add a small report each weekend of their teams match.  It does not have to be perfect and can be as biased as you like (we are all human).  If you want to volunteer, just EMAIL US  and we will set you up with a username and password and you can upload your reports right away.

Peter Lynch gets his head to the ball despite being put under pressure by this Edinburgh defender

10/5/08 East Region South Division
Blackburn United 2 Edinburgh United 1


The visitors opened brightly on an overcast and thundery afternoon and forced Blackburn onto the back foot, their best chance of the opening spell coming in the twelfth minute when a cross from the right by Campbell found Reid, but his glancing header slid inches past Francis Carlin’s far post. It was Reid again who created Edinburgh’s next opportunity when his snap shot on the turn was comfortably held by Carlin. Moments later Blackburn created their first real chance when a flick on by Lee Docherty set Peter Lynch free inside the box, but his shot from an acute angle was half blocked by Atai in the Edinburgh goal and the ball looped across the empty goalmouth and was cleared. Moments later Bowsher cleared the ball towards his own goal and it creeped inches over. On the half hour mark a throw-in on the right from Jordan Rintoul found Docherty and he turned his marker to fire in a shot that was straight at Atai. However, on thirty one minutes the opening goal came when Campbell was found by Reid on the overlap down the right wing and his cross into the box saw MONTGOMERY diving to head low past Carlin. Before the half ended Christie had a twenty five yard effort which was well held by Carlin.

The second half opened with neither team in the ascendancy, and few chances were created. This changed with twenty minutes left when substitute Andy McQuillan was fouled twenty five yards out. Alan Brown took the free kick quickly and found the unmarked Scott LIVINGSTONE who turned and fired past Atai to level the scores. A minute later and Edinburgh nearly regained the lead when a free kick into the box found McIntosh and his overhead kick was tipped over by Carlin. However, in the eighty fourth minute it was Blackburn who grabbed the lead, a long ball out of defence by Davie Sneddon saw McQuillan get in front of his marker McIntosh, who appeared to be tugging at the youngster's shirt as he moved into the box, and both got a foot to the bouncing ball for it to loop over Atai’s outstretched hand and into the net with McQUILLAN claiming the goal. Into injury time and one final chance fell to Edinburgh when Reid danced past several defenders to fire off a shot which Dougie Polwart deflected inches past.
