A good start to this season's competitive games. United brought a big support who filled the Pleasureland end and half of the stand and there was a good atmosphere around the ground. A minutes silence in respect of the tragedy in Nice was observed before the kick off.

First half United had more possession but we weren't over run and competed well although Robbie Mutch in goal had some great saves to keep us in it. Hard to believe he's just coming up for 18, he played like an experienced keeper.

Second half was much the same as the first and a late, late goal by United sub Anier, replacing Simon Murray, started some fans leaving the ground, but a goal by Hamilton from a cross from the right in added time set the scene for the penalty shot out.

Still don't know what the manager sees in David Gold. He came on as a sub for Prunty around 75 mins and the only thing he did was have his penalty saved to give United the match.

Good performances from the usual suspects, Ricky Little, Bobby Linn, Steven Doris, Colin Hamilton and of course Robbie Mutch. In fact the whole team played well and Mark Whatley had his best game for a while although Kader lost possession too easily, too often. But if we can play to this standard in league games on throughout the season we should finish near the top of the league.
