Division 2 Cup Fixture

Subs: None

A disappointing performance with a below strength PDG Choppers side beaten in frustrating style.  NHS opened after a mix up at the back with only ten minutes gone however it was only another ten minutes before James Morrison equalised, latching on to a Cooke through ball and driving it low past the keeper from ten yards.  Disjointed play allowed NHS to get the upper hand and they ran through the defence to score again.  Greg Ross equalised with a scrappy goal (after missing an easier chance!) but NHS had the last word in the half after a miss placed pass from Cameron allowed the NHS striker through one on one for NHS to lead 3-2 at half time.

Only a few minutes after the restart NHS doubled their lead leaving PDG trailing.  PDG Choppers began to claw their way back into the game, making half chances but failing to take them until Greg Ross scored his second of the game after some close play in the box.  Closer to the end Neale Brown jinked past two defenders and chipped the keeper from out wide (it may or may not have been a cross...) to level the scores at four apiece.  It wasn't until the final minute that the decisive blow was struck by NHS.  The ball was cleared to the edge of the box from a corner when it was struck on the volley and driven low into the net. 

Full Time - NHS Highland 5 - 4 PDG Choppers
