Central District: Second Division
Dunipace 2 - 1 Stonehouse
After last weeks excellent performance against Newmains in the League opener, Dunipace came into this fixture full of confidence and looking to build upon their early season form.
The opening to the game was a stuffy affair, with neither side able to retain possession or create anything against the opposition defence. Dunipace, finding it difficult to find the passing game that had serverd so well in the previous
fixtures, struggling to get a hold of the game.
During this period the home side did manage to fashion a few chances, with Wright going close from just outside the area and Pincombe drilling a shot past the post after some good build up play.
This pattern continued in the first half hour, with neither side creating any clear cut chances. Bryan Grant headed over at the back post and Chris Cairney volleyed over from 12 yards, but neither was any more than a half chance, and it was
Stonehouse who grabbed the opener.
A cross from the Dunipace right was punched by Strachan into the path of the midfielder who drilled the visitors only shot of the first half into the net.
As the half wore on the game was being contested mainly in the midfield area, with Dunipace eventually managing to string some passes together towards the end of the half.
