Home league match
Cowie Thistle 6 - 1 Westdyke
Cowie got back to winning ways in the league this season with a comfortable victory this afternoon.
As per last week Cowie made a great start and were 2-0 up within 10 minutes when Irv squared for LOVICK to tap home and then a cross ball found SMITHY at the back post who took a touch and then shot low past the keeper.
Westdyke scored after 20 minutes when a free kick was deflected past stand in keeper Robbo for 2-1
However unlike last week this goal didn’t cause Cowie to collapse and that was Westdykes only real chance of the first half as Cowie pushed forward for more goals using the wide park to find plenty spaces and got the 3rd after 25 minutes when when a mazy run from Lovick ended up with the ball at the feet of McDONALD who finished one on one with the keeper.
It was 4-1 soon after when Smithy was taken out in the box and LOVICK sent the keeper the wrong way from the spot.
Just before half time it was 5-1 when a through ball by McDonald found TJ who poked the ball past the keeper for his first goal for the club.
Westdyke came back into the game slightly in the 2nd half and had numerical advantage after 60 minutes when TJ, despite winning the ball, was sent off for a challenge on the halfway line. This allowed Westdyke a couple of chances as Cowie re-adjusted which Robbo did well to save.
After that though Cowie played out the rest of the half with ease even with 10 men and completed the scoring 2 minutes from time when a corner from Wilson was headed home by LOVICK for his hat trick.
Another comfortable 3 points and a good reaction after last weeks disappointing defeat
Scorers today Lovick(3), Smith, McDonald, Johnston
MOTM - McDonald
Mon ih Cowie! ????????
