FULL TIME

Easthouses Lily 3–0 Edinburgh South

A frustrating night for South despite a bright start. We created a number of good chances in the opening 35 minutes but couldn’t find the breakthrough before Easthouses struck first with a well taken effort from distance.

We pushed hard for an equaliser before the break, but it just wouldn’t fall for us in front of goal.

The second half was a different story. Easthouses tightened up and limited our chances, before doubling their lead with a goal that will be debated. As we chased the game, a loose touch at the back allowed their striker to capitalise and make it three.

We continued to press and carved out a few late opportunities, but nothing enough to trouble the keeper.

A tough one to take, but we go again.
