Beaten by 'Bank

Saturday 13 March 2010. Cuiter lost the first leg of a double header against Sunnybank. The table toppers came from behind to grab all three points.
The match was a midfield battle for most of the first half with only a long range effort from Craigie that flew over and a header from Ogboke worth writing about but in 34 minutes Cuiter went in front. The away defence failed to clear Wilson’s free kick and the ball fell to Chris OGBOKE who slotted home from close range. ‘Bank replied with Greig firing in a cross that resulted in a mad scramble which ended with Craigie fouling ‘keeper Mcintosh and Clark and Ogboke being yellow carded. On the stroke of half time Ogboke had a great chance to grab a double but pulled his shot wide from inside the box. Half Time: 1 — 0
Culter’s half time team talk went right out the window in the 47th minute. Greig made his way to the by line before cutting the ball back to Nicky GORDON who stroked in the equaliser Wilson just failed to get his head onto a Robertson free kick before Clark’s curling shot just passed the upright at the other end. Craigie then went charging into the box and missed from close range with the ball somehow ending up in Mcintosh’s hands. McBain headed a Johnstone header off the line and in 74 minutes Craigie was replaced by Steel. The sub came straight onto the park and went on a run before passing to Nicky GORDON who flicked the ball past the home ‘keeper. McBain was then felled in the box but amazingly the referee waved away Culter’s claims for a penalty. McIntosh was then called into action and pulled off two great saves from a Gordon free kick and then a powerful Adams shot.
