Khalsa Reserves 2 Weldon Reserves 1
Jamie Mclellan

HT 0-1

Khalsa made the short trip to tackle unbeaten Weldon Reserves for there 1st fixture since 5th December.
In the early exchanges Khalsa could have gone one up in the first minute when debutant striker Jamie Mclellan shot just over the bar.
However Khalsa found themselves 1-0 down in the first 10 mins from a scrappy goal.
This goal did little to dent Khalsa confidence as they poured forward on many occasions with Dennis Plamer & Jamie Mclellan both going close again.
The game stayed 1-0 to Weldon at the break though Khalsa had enough possession and chances to at least be level at the break.
The second half saw a galvanised khalsa come out and within 15 minutes of the re-start deservedly draw level with a good turn and strike from Jamie mclellan to make it 1-1.
Khalsa then produced further chances from set pieces and neat play but just couldn't find the winner.
Khalsa were then forced to make 2 changes through injury with Michael Bairstow and Andy Clark replaced by Gary Lane and Cliff Milne came on with 10mins to go
Weldon then pressed khalsa back as they went for the win but in the last minute khalsa broke out and sub Cliff Milne out-muscled the Weldon defender before rolling the ball into the bottom right corner.
This proved to be the last action of the game as Khalsa netted a well deserved and earned win.
