Tonight’s game was 8th versus 14th (out of 16) in the league table, with Kinnoull having one win and one defeat from their opening two games, whilst Inverkeithing had managed a draw and a defeat from their two played. It was the visitors who got off to the better start, opening the scoring after seventeen minutes, with an angled shot into the far corner. They doubled their lead three minutes later, when a cross from the right was volleyed in from inside the six yard box. They dominated the first half and could have been further ahead, but were unable to add to their tally and it looked like their job would be much easier when Kinnoull had a man red carded for dissent five minutes before halftime.

Although Inverkeithing did the majority of the attacking in the second half, Kinnoull remained in the game and they pulled it back to 1-2 with seventeen minutes left, bundling in a corner at the far post, but never really looked like adding to it and the visitors deservedly hung on to take the three points.

Kinnoull play at Tulloch Park in Perth. Entering behind the goal, the changing rooms/tea bar are in the near left hand corner, where there is cover and a few benches, but set back too far from the pitch to afford decent viewing. The pitch is fully railed and runs lengthways away from the building, with a pair of dugouts on the left hand side. There are also floodlights, but they looked to be more for training use.
