Meadow suffered their 3rd defeat in a row when they lost 1-2 to Glasgow rivals Petershill in another poor match on Saturday. Paul McBride put the Peasies ahead in 35 minutes when he took advantage of hesitency on the edge of the Meadow box to shoot home off the far post. Neither keeper was seriously troubled for the rest of the first half as Meadow once again ran out of ideas in the final third of the field. Gareth Turner showed the way to goal in the 57th minute to fire a cracking shot home from the edge of the box. Meadow were in control for the first time in the match now and David Hamilton just failed to connect with a superb Turner cross moments later and the ball was cleared for a corner kick. Gradually 'Hill started to come back into it a bit but it was still a shock when James Coulter scored his side's second with a long range shot into the top corner in 70 minutes. Meadow were up against it now and the cause wasn't helped when striker Emilio Jaconelli was shown a straight red card for throwing a punch at the Petershill goalie who some fans thought was lucky to only escape with a yellow card himself. Meadow still looked as if they could sneak a second equalizer but after substitute Frankie Haggarty was also shown the red card for a 2nd booking there was no way back.

IRVINE MEADOW v PETERSHILL

Stagecoach Super League Premier Division

Meadow Park, Irvine

Kick Off : 2pm

Meadow welcome Petershill to Meadow Park this coming Saturday knowing that a good performance will be needed if we are to get back to winning ways. Petershill got off to a bad start in their league campaign going down 2-4 at home to Arthurlie. Many people thought they would struggle this season as they lost a lot of players during the close season but they have come back well and won their next 2 league games against Lanark Utd and Bellshill to sit 3rd in the league with 6 points from 3 games.

-

Recent games between the 2 sides have been very close and both league games last season ended in 1-1 draws. Zander Ryan scored Meadow's goal in the first game at Meadow Park while Andy McLaren, who is no longer with the club scored our goal in the return fixture.

-

Petershill currently have 2 ex-Meadow players in their squad, defender Kevin McBride who left Meadow Park to join the 'Hill this close season and striker Stephen McGowan who left Meadow in season 2007-08 to join Neilston before moving on to Petershill.
