BANCHORY FC 1-5 LONDON CITY

Our trip to Scotland proved very productive, with our 7th win in 7 away league matches, against a team struggling at the bottom end of the table. The match was virtually over by half time, when we had raced into a four goal lead. Jacob Wilkinson got our first on 10', when he slid home from a Wayne Dixon pass. Eight minutes later, Wilkinson turned provider, setting up Vener Chekmarev for an easy finish. Jack Daniels helped himself to a solo goal on 40', and 3 minutes later, Wilkinson returned the favour for Dixon to fire home our fourth. The home side made a bold start to the second period, and scored what was to be only a consolation after 47'. But Greg Fucillo quickly re-established our 4 goal margin, when he headed home from another Dixon cross, after 50 minutes. That completed the scoring, but a miserable day for our host's was completed, when one of their defenders was sent off with 3 minutes remaining. Wayne Dixon duly was elected as man of the match.

The win, coupled with other results, now puts us two points clear at the top. Tomorrow we start the return matches with a home game against Man United of Vietnam, whom we beat 2-0 at their place on the opening day. They currently lye in 8th position with 20 points.
