Friday Night Fog

After beautiful sunshine the unpredictable Scottish weather claimed victory at Peffermill this evening. The first Friday Night Lights of the season had to be abandoned.

Both teams started strong and with the crowd building it looked set for an exciting game of hockey. Ten minutes in a penalty flick was awarded, Inverleith keeper Neil Durno made contact with a Watsonian player.

David Paterson stepped up and neatly slotted the ball into the back of the neck to give Watsonians the lead. The Scottish weather started to dominate but the teams decided to play on and battle the elements.

It was end to end play and with five minutes to go Inverleith were awarded a penalty flick after a purple robe was pushed in the back, in the circle. Patrick Christie stepped up and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it all level.

Before the clock made it to half time the officials Neil McAlpine and Paul Ruddock called it time due to weather, game officially abandoned to be continued.
