Under 19s win at Stirling with goals from Kerr Young and Fraser Moncrieff

DUNFERMLINE 2 KILMARNOCK 1

Dunfermline ran out winners in this SPL U19 league match played at Stirling University on Friday lunchtime.

Kerr YOUNG opened the scoring from a Ross Millen free kick in 14th minute.  Fraser Moncrieff was the target, he headed the ball back across goal for the central defender to head home. 1-0.

Killie almost struck right back when they got in one on one situation with Ryan Goodfellow but the keeper`s block was successful.  Scott Campbell`s header from a corner was cleared over the bar.

In 27 minutes Blair Henderson was denied a penalty when he was chopped down in the penalty box, then from another corner eight minutes later Young had a header kept out at the post by a defender and keeper.

Dunfermline dominated the first half, had numerous corners and could have been further ahead.  Killie remained a threat on the break.

Half time: Dunfermline 1 Kilmarnock 0

Within ten seconds of the restart Fraser MONCRIEFF was put through to smash the ball beyond keeper Russell Cadwell.  The quick goal deflated the visitors somewhat and in 59 minutes Blair Henderson`s header teed up Moncrieff for another shot on goal but that was deflected over the crossbar.

Goodfellow had to race to the tiop of his box in 65 minutes when the Kilmarnock trialist Mark Taylor was through but his shot went wide of the goal. Next Henderson blasted over the bar from a ball from Shaun Byrne.

Kilmarnock got one back in 78 minutes when Jude WINCHESTER took a good opportunity.  He followed that up with a burst on goal just minutes later but his execution went wide of target.  The visitors made in a nervy finish for the Fifers but they deserved the win and it could have been more convincing.
