Today Kintore had a home game against Stonehaven YFC. With Harry Rae, Matthew Stephen and Ryan Parker all out it was a reorganized starting line up. The game started brightly with both teams testing each others defences but Dylan Chapman and Jack Chalmers were coping well. Stonehaven were having a lot of possession and creating some good chances but Stuart Derval had some great saves. Cameron McDonald was working hard in midfield and winning more and more of the ball. Liam Duthie was coming on to a good game and causing a lot of problems with his long throws. Stonehaven won a corner and looked like scoring when Owen Lawson cleared off the line. Cameron Cobban and Danny Hedley were linking well and Cameron was played through one on one with the keeper but pulled his shot just wide.

Another corner from Stonehaven looked to be going over the line but Stuart Derval pulled off a great save. Matt Milne on for Cameron McDonald was causing problems going forward on the right when he beat two players but was pulled to the ground. Kintore were unlucky from the free kick which led to a goal mouth scramble and as it was cleared Ewan McBain had his effort blocked. Liam Duthie worked a one two with Matt Milne and fired in a good cross but Owen Lawson just couldn't get onto the end of it.
