Leith made one change from the Hawick match last week Martyn Wallace dropping out in place of Skipper Neil Ewart. Manager Eugene Taylor was back at the helm but it was another motivational half time team talk that leads to the team’s comeback and takes an unlikely 3 points! Gala started the better at a blustery Muirhouse Sports Ground and deservedly took the lead when a mistake at the back allowed Jamie Gibson the simple of taps in to make it 1.nill, Gala failed to take there chances in the first half as this team wanted to avenge the 5.1 defeat nearly 2 weeks ago and really looked in the mood however Gordon in goal was having a good game. Leith looked out of sorts but did get a life line when Darren Lockhart pass found Euan Campbell and he fired passed Lumsden in the Gala goal. Second half and Leith came out with some purpose and started to play, Chris Beaton rattled the post but couldn’t find the break through as this game became end to end. Gala where about to hold on for a deserved point when a corner swung in by Chris Beaton found Steve Radzynski who rose above all to bullet the header pass Lumsden for an unlikely victory to Leith.
