U-13's Brae's Bounce-Back

Larbert bounced back with a good display at home and a 2-1 victory over Braes High School after been knocked out of the Scottish cup 4-1 by Bishopbriggs academy the previous week.

 

The Larbert U-13's showed they had 'bouncebackability' on Tuesday night.

In the opening few minutes Lewis Dawson had an opportunity to break the dead lock with a superb strike early in the game but the Braes keeper pulled of a great save.  This was then followed by LHS student Sam Kinney hitting the post just minutes later.

 

With 20 minutes played Braes then put in a great cross and scored from a good header at the back post to make it 1-0.  5 minutes later Larbert bounced back with Sam Kinney passing the ball across goal and Ryan Dewar scoring into an open net.

 

At half time the score remained 1-1 with no major chances created by either team in the run up to half time.

 

10mins into the second half Larbert had a great chance to go 2-1 up but Michael Baba-Yemi put the ball just past the post.  Braes were hanging on in the second half and the Larbert defence was solid.  With 12 minutes to go in this tense match Larbert were again denied by the on-form Braes keeper saving from a great strike from Lewis Dawson.

 

In the closing minutes of the match Cameron Doonan headed the ball through to Michael Baba-Yemi who placed the ball into the bottom corner to make it 2-1 to Larbert, which it finished, giving Larbert a good bounce-back victory.
