vs Lanarkshire Forrest B
Home league match
A bare bones squad today for Kirkstyle and for the first half they matched Lanarkshire Forrest it may have been scrappy but there were plenty goals in the first half.
Forrest took advantage of some slack marking to open the scoring.
Billy Scott had Kirkstyle back on level terms when he fired home from 30 yards through a ruck of players and into the bottom corner.
It was the visitors who again took the lead just after the half hour mark but Thistle were level within minutes when Calum Mcleod's near post corner was headed in by Stephen Furie.
Thistle hit a third five minutes later when O'Keeffe had a shot saved but the keeper fumbled and Ian Leaker was on hand to put his side into the lead.
Halftime
Kirkstyle Thistle 3-2 Lanarkshire Forrest B
Into the second half and Thistle battled but inevitably tired and with one substitute being available were opened up by Forrest.
An early second half equaliser and then a stunning free kick to put Forrest 4-3 and that knocked the stuffing out of Kirkstyle who ended the game with 10 men when Billy Scott had go off after injuring his ankle.
Final score
Kirkstyle Thistle 3-8 Lanarkshire Forrest
