2010
Eastvale’s last league and home game was to be played in glorious conditions, the park was newly cut, there was a tiny breeze and it was nice and warm.
Cupar has strong aspirations of claiming the league title and it was up to the Windygates side to stop them. First half started brightly for Vale with some great moves just lacking the final product. Cupar themselves had one or two opportunities but again a lack of composure in-front of goal would be their downfall. At half time the game was goalless with both sides cancelling each other out.
Second half and Cupar started to apply a bit more pressure. Eastvale stood strong however thwarting each attempt on goal, that was until Heartz found some inspiration down the left wing with some great football and a assured finish into the bottom corner to send the Cupar’s supporters pace-makers into overdrive. Shortly after with Eastvale chasing for an equaliser Cupar hit a long ball which caught out Vale’s defence allowing Simbada through on goal beating the goalie but was then taken down in the box by Westwood. The resulting penalty was put away with convinced and Cupar travelled home one step closer to capturing the title.
Good performance from Vale with not very much between the two sides.
Eastvale: Gardner, Scone, Haley, Winn (McLiesh), Westwood, Kirk, Forrester, Armitt, Kerr, Millar, Coull (trialist)
