Pollok Football Club

Four second half goals saw Pollok pick up their first home league victory of the season, defeating Clydebank 4-0 at Newlandsfield Park. The first half was a scrappy affair with little in the way of goalmouth action for either side, though Pollok goalkeeper Jordan Longmuir did have to be alert to tip a deflected cross over the crossbar.

Thankfully the second half proved to be more entertaining fare, especially for those of a Pollok persuasion as they signalled their intent early, Stef McCluskey putting the ball in the net, but adjudged to be offside. The homesters broke the deadlock in the 53^rd minute, Ryan McGregor?s ball out wide to Gary McCann seemed harmless enough, but the winger had different ideas. Cutting inside from the right wing he passed two Bankies? defenders before firing a left foot shot into the top right-hand corner.

Ryan McGregor turned from provider to scorer in the 71^st minute, netting a header at the back post from Bryan Young?s flag-kick. It was 3-0 a minute later, Allan MacKenzie showing great skill on the left wing to burst through two defenders and charge for the bye-line, where he squeezed a shot from an acute angle through visiting custodian Josh Lumsden. Allan MacKenzie?s pressuring of the Clydebank rearguard paid off in the 85^th minute, nicking the ball off a defender?s foot and into the path of a charging Nicky Prentice who showed great composure to complete the afternoon?s scoring.
