Fidra punished by Inverleith

Saturday saw the rescheduled game against Inverleith 3's.

A late start at East Fettes Avenue saw Fidra on the back foot early on as Inverleith came out attacking from the start. Tiny mistakes and misplaced passes also added to the pressure. Fidra managed very little in shots on goal in the first half, there were glimpses of what Fidra is capable of with periods of quick ball movement and player movement. Only some last ditch defending and a fortuitous foot foul saw Fidra to the break at 0-0.

The 2nd half saw Inverleith exploit some open space as Fidra looked to press and score. Unfortunately Inverleith took the lead as a scrap for the ball in the D saw it roll to an open player who slotted it past the on rushing Matt in goal. Not long after saw Inverleith double their lead from yet another defensive deflected short corner which took the ball over Matt's shoulder and into the top corner.
Fidra struck back with some nice flowing passes and young Rowan shot on goal which was saved by the diving keeper but then had the presence of mind to drag the ball away from the keep and push it past him to score.
Unfortunately this proved to be a consolation as Inverleith struck back quickly from a snap shot from 8 yards which Matt got a stick to but couldn't direct away.

A 3-1 loss for Fidra which was disappointing but as always there were positives to take away.
