East of Scotland Premier League, Tuesday 24th April 2007

Whitehill Welfare 1 Edinburgh University 2

Wayne McIntosh and Nicky Walker both received early yellow cards, Wayne for a late tackle and Nicky for dissent. The first real chance fell to the Uni when Shaun Milligan cut the ball back and Stephen Thompson hit a low shot which was blocked.

Whitehill took the lead in the 25th minute when a through ball to Wayne McIntosh in the left hand channel was well controlled by the striker and he cut inside the Uni defender Mark Cathcart and hit a right foot angular shot into the net from 10 yards.

The students equalised in the 60th minute when an Andy Howat shot was blocked but the Whitehill defence failed to clear their lines and Stephen Maxwell followed up to fire the ball into the net from 10 yards.

Shortly afterwards Wayne McIntosh appeared to be held in the Uni penalty box but despite loud appeals there was no spot kick. Wayne then used "foul and abusive language" towards the referee who had no hesitation in producing a straight red card.

The students then created some chances with accurate crosses but the Whitehill defence rallied until eight minutes from time when Howat received the ball on the left touchline and used his pace to find a way into the penalty box where he placed a low shot under the body of Kevin Swain at the near post.

Andy Malone almost equalised in the final minute when his powerful header skimmed the top of the University crossbar.

It is understood that Wayne McIntosh was asked to report to the referee after the match along with club official Peter McGauley and was advised that he would be reported for a second offence warranting a red card.
