hello and welcome to Anon versus alawa at Gallow Bank don't adjust your sets that is just a outrageously loud music here at Anan Al make two changes from the side to 11 one nil against stos M but it was one substitute who made a big impact with Stephen scle coming in in place for Luke donelly well Morgan Neil comes in at Center back again as Kane Thompson drops to the bench a wi could easily put alawa into the top spot in the league but the same could be Sav for Anan have an excellent start to the season however they they got their first League defeat of the season last week against Queen of the South and they're missing key players in the shape of Rico katongo Josh Todd and uh the stand out in the RS last year Aiden Smith and then get us underway big launch forward looking for GS he's always such a Target wins it as well m what enjoying possession so far looking very cam composed on the ball knocking about Ste Hetherington way to Cent half or Center Midfield partner all the way back to Center half Morgan Neil just knocking about nice and cam Bing slowly Morgan NE plays the pass forward to Dave M right with Ste Buchanan up against player manager Willie Gibson is he going to take him on drive to the by line crosses in sends it to the back post and left back C Waters heads towards goal great save by [Applause] Smith coli fortunately doesn't he find the pass back the way but it's going to stay in all send it back up the line to Waters and insight to skle colie Waters left footed delivery oh completely fluffed and it's dropped for stepan skole he gets his first goal of the Season draws it straight down the middle into the an and goal I tell you what for a player manager that is a a hard one to take as Willie Gibson is absolutely fluffed the clearance we say so often about Stephan skle if he could add more goals to his game well he wouldn't he be at Al what a player he would be but you don't get many easier than this throwing cross into the middle but very very [Music] easy Anon looking for a quick reprieve got wind advantage in this first half you can see by that flag in the corner and it's going to be floated in the middle domig go a very lightweight goes there you can see there is a back contact on the foot but going to give penalties for that well might have 20 penalties a game come on Gibson's Corner completely leave gos unmarked it's over Morrison off the line by Robertson off the post from Harrison wood cross in from Gibson still not clear it's going to be down for wood again he beats the goalkeeper and another clearance Away by Roberts W again this time sends it and it's going to be overhead is it going to be collected by Gibson still not away Z on the edge of the Box claims it sends it onto the edge of the Box flaming has a strike that's blocked get another set piece for Anan in the middle go right His Highest just heads a yard wide to go Gibson's throw is z gos holds up up goes for go but what a t effort that is very poor [Applause] shot thr up the line toig Goos scored well by Dixon Woods has Ryan charging up the right hand side can he find the delivery right foot oh in a sixy box and back Ona between Mai Morrison claims it oh that is a lovely ball into the six-yard box Steven Buchanan will claim it he'll cut it back for Kevin Coley ah good block off the back of Captain the center half was throw Kevin Coley does Square it to Mai take on himself and gets it wi to be Cannon played into the box through tiger oh good defending by m could have easily sent that into his own there instead Al look to sell for the throw and it is a long throw aimed in towards salmon flicked Away by Anan collected by Curtis Roberts as Camy plays it back the way to Neil and he'll get it back oh that was an outrageous B through down by skle whistle goes the salmon puts it in the bottom corner but that a poor poor decision from the officials stepan skg at least a yard on site and Al should be two n up Kevin Coley linoln up in the middle gets the ball back from skugg he should play it wide he finds Callum Waters who again is Moren high up the field plays and Sal it's just beyond him skle can't get the connection good move by alawa again though throwing in outrageous flick to Kevin Co he have the shooting opportunity and deserved a better finish after that flick stepan skle again looking so bright today with a long throw opportunity and it is an at Tommy go laid off for Dixon and doesn't he catch it very nicely but it is going into the bottom corner should be able to get it clear and Wood's feet steady's going to take it a run and steady playing it up the line I don't know if he's got the ball back from Z on purpose but Defenders finish as he had the go gaping at his [Applause] meret delivery from Gibson is met by gos again headed down and back into the danger area but Tommy m is sitting through on the sixy box all maybe going to sleep a little bit ambitious Cross Field Ball but what a hit that is it's going to be collected by Buchanan before it hits the B Lane cross the six-yard Box Salmons in and Anan get it clear big go throw up the line tagger salmon is beaten towards it but St heathering cuts the ball out and he can do enough to knock it into the path if be can and he's done well to knock it in his skle as well plenty of Men In The Box and oh that's a lovely bit improvisation from heatherington he'll get a second attempt but flag goes up over there wonderful way to open the play from Hetherington though good feet from him W Out Swinging delivery his headed away Z can he carry it chance and Anon counter takes the ball on run well and call Waters is chasing an and have the the the main advantage now three Anon players veing towards the back post if they can find them oh my goodness Dixon has completely messed up that and Gibson balloons it over PJ Morrison's goal call check back and plays it to Morgan Neil Waters back to PJ Morrison ala intent to pass the ball about at the back and invite Anan up onto them that's P though from Morgan NE Give It Away under no pressure Gibson is he going to charge forward lays it perfectly into Dixon struck high at the front post good solid it from PJ Morrison Corner Anon my goodness alawa they're going to continue to ride their luck Hanan send the ball into the middle and it's right across the face of the sixy Box oh Harrison W Tommy M and Tommy gos all in there does a toward salmon he get the ball straight back though and has the opportunity to dink it into heatherington and that's nicely into Salmon's path and he tries to place it good solid hand from Jammy Smith salmon he should have had a goal earlier just launched forward into Salmon's chest well well taken down and Don can play it forward Target maren sends the cross into the middle flick on by salmon and easily into the path here [Applause] Smith big big opportunity here Ste helton's custom yellow card in this game hopefully that's all we can talk about but set piece looks likely for Anan and it will be Gibson step up I think that just sums up and as day in front of go [Applause] [Music]
