Syminton Tinto 0 – 6 Milngavie Wanderers FC

Limited match report – Sorry

The Wanderers made the long journey down to Symington – not a good hunting place for the Wanderers in recent years – to play a Symington team that cannot seem to buy 3 points at the moment despite what looks like a promising young team.

The Wanderers again fielded another strong line up despite key absentees – Berto I hope you are reading this – but still managed to rack up a convincing performance to ensure the Wanderers fairy tail story in the league continues this season with promotion within touching distance for the first time in many years.

The Wanderers under the watchful eye of Tam McGorm on Saturday ensured that the team done the basics well – taking advantage of the heavy conditions on a tight park to see off any possible threat that Symington were hoping to deliver to a Wanderers team used to playing on near perfect playing conditions this year despite the heaving rain and frost.

Goals from Del Reid, Maxwell, Crerand, Simone and McKellar flattered the scoreline a little with 4-0 looking like the final result until a flurry of acitvity in the last few mintues seeing 2 further goals that continued the impressive goal tally since the turn of the year.

The Wanderers next week make the trip over the bridge to play Viewfield Rovers in what is sure to be another tough game despite Viewfild struggling to find their feet this year in the first division having been releagated from the premier division last year.

Come on the Wanderers.

Milngavie Wanderers 6 – 1 Bearsden Amateurs

Scorers: Franie, Maxwell (2) McKellar, Reid and Simone

The Wanderers inflicted one of the best footballing displays to grace Staney Brig in recent years on local rivals Bearsden.  The Wanderers fielding an attack minded formation were 2 up within 5 minutes with super strikes from Franie McGonagle and then from Mark Maxwell it was a case of how many as the Wanderers stretched their unbeaten run to 15 games.  Further goals from Del Reid, Simmy and McKellar before the break every goal a top drawer finish and a fine reward for the hard work going on in the background to assemble together a footbal squad that is going to be hard to beat.

Bearsden who only narrowly got defeated by Drumchapel United a few weeks earlier did not play that badly, and the second half seen a much more spirited performance from the Bearsden who played well and contained the Wanderers and scoring the first goal of the second half after sloppy play in the Wanderers midfield. 

With score 5-1 the last goal of the game went to the man of the match Mark Maxwell.  Breaking from the midfield he somehow managed to get onto the end of Berto cross skilfully directing the ball away from the helpless Beardsen keeper who was left stranded for the 6th time in the game.

A great performance and a great display by a Wanderers team who are going all out to achieve success this year.

Come on the Wanderers!!!
