12th minute – good break by Lennon who lays the ball to Ricky Rutherford – a return pass to Lennon who slips the ball to Redpath who was ever so slightly off side.  14th minute – A great cross by Paddy Rooney on the left hand side finds the rising Larkin to nod over when well placed. 20th minute  - a McDonnell ball down the line finds Ricky Rutherford who gets to the edge of the 18 – squares the ball to Redpath to fire home 1 – 0.   22nd minute – A penalty warded to the Rec see’s Rutherford fire home for 2 – 0.   25th minute – Rooney on a great run down the left, enters the box an a sweet cross past the face of goal see’s Redpath fire home for  3 – 0.    38th minute – Redpath gets his hatrick after  second bite at the back post.

 

2nd Half

 

7th minute – Fenton cross to Rutherford at the back post heads narrowly over the bar. 8th minute - Redpath scores his fourth after Fenton lays a neat ball onto the 18 – Redpath sends the keeper the wrong way to coolly slot home. Manager Moore was now making changes and sends on Larmour for McDonnell and Hughes for Rooney. 13th minute – At least three Rec players have chances when Redpath, Rutherford and McClarnon all see half chances go a miss. 16th minute  - McClarnon on edge of box curls a free kick – the Tech keeper gets down well to make a good save.  21st minute Rutherford shot tests the keeper from long range. Keeper does well to push over the bar.

 

Manager Moore was delighted with performance. The finishing by Redpath was superb. Overall a good game for the fans and an industrious performance from all the team in every department. Credit goes to Redpath who for weeks has been threatening to do some real damage.
