AC Caple 2004s celebrated their first official league game with a 3-1 victory over Harmony Row at Hermitage Academy last weekend.

The game started well for the Ardencaple FC side and they were dominating play, particularly down the right-hand side where Lennox was proving a handful for the Harmony Row defenders.

It wasn’t long before Caple scored after a strong run from Lennox into the Harmony Row penalty area.

Instead of shooting he played a simple pass to Walker who stroked the ball into the net.

This sparked Harmony Row into life as they pressed forward and forced a series of corners.

Caple weathered the storm as Harmony Row brought out a couple of fine saves from Ben Smith in the home goal.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Graham in particular causing problems for the Harmony Row defence.

A second goal came for Caple in the form of a well worked move and a finish at the back post from Haughie.

Again, Harmony Row pressed forward but couldn’t find the net, thwarted by C Smith, Speirs, Grant and Beaton in the defence.

Harmony Row forced a superb save from Smith from a well taken free kick on the edge of the box.

Caple then scored a slightly fortuitous goal when Walker’s long-range shot went through everyone, catching the Harmony Row keeper out as it went into the net.

Harmony Row continued to push forward and were rewarded with a penalty late in the game, which Smith got a hand to but couldn’t keep out.

The team was delighted to welcome their match ball sponsor Michael Ross, of MR Roofing and Plastering Clydebank, to the game.
