Jeanfield Swifts AFC hosted Breadalbane AFC at Riverside for their third league match of the season, despite it already being late October. With both teams coming into the match undefeated, it was set to be a high-stakes game, promising intense competition from start to finish.
In the 8th minute, R. Shilian played a perfect through ball to A. Abboud, who beat the offside trap, rounded the keeper, and scored.
At 20 minutes, R. Green sent a pass through to K. Brown, who set up K. Mitchell. Mitchell cut inside and slotted it past the keeper.
Just after halftime, in the 47th minute, K. Brown made a run down the line and crossed to A. Abboud, who controlled the ball and finished at the back post.
In the 74th minute, K. Mitchell threaded a ball through to B. Calderwood, who took a first-time shot to score past the keeper. One minute later, Calderwood passed to Mitchell, who lobbed the keeper beautifully.
At 87 minutes, the Breadalbane captain, clearly frustrated, was sent off for a second rough foul.
Finally, in the 90th minute, M. McLeod charged at the defense and slipped the ball to K. Brown, who nutmegged the keeper to cap off the match.

Man of the Match was a tough decision, as the entire team performed exceptionally. However, it went to Aidan Smith, the solid left-back who played with calm precision, excellent distribution, and positional awareness. A real “Rolls-Royce” performance, Smith looked untroubled defensively and joined attacks when needed, after being close to winning the honor last week.
