Albion Rovers Under 21s 4-1 Mill United
By Connor Ryan
Line-up: Karolis Grajauskis, Ryan Delahay, James Buckley, Kyle Burns, Hugh Stuart, Jack Pyper, Anton Dunlop ©, Craig Taylor, Dean Neilson, Dimitris Boncota, Kai Chambers
Subs: Kyle Hutcheson (replaced Hugh Stuart), Jack Johnstone (replaced Dean Neilson), Declan Monie (replaced Dimitris Boncota), Nathan Venning (replaced Craig Taylor), Callum Wilson (replaced Kai Chambers)
Rovers marched on with their unbeaten run being extended to 8 games with an impressive victory over Mill United at St Ambrose.
Despite going a goal down early on and being reduced to ten men halfway through the first half, Rovers dominated the game and rallied to secure a big win on a day when the weather conditions were awful to say the least.
It would take until the 14th minute until the deadlock was broken as a Mill United attacker managed to get in behind and find the bottom corner to go 1-0 up against the run of play.
Rovers would hit back 9 minutes later as man of the match Dean Neilson placed the ball beyond the keeper to equalise as Rovers continued to pressure the Mill defence.
Jack Pyper would be sent off just after the equaliser leading to Rovers having to change things up resulting in Dimitris Boncota being replaced by Declan Monie as Rovers switched to a back 4 defence instead of a back 3.
5 minutes before the break would see Rovers take the lead through a spectacular curling effort from captain Anton Dunlop as the keeper was left with no chance of saving the shot which allowed Rovers to take a 2-1 lead into the break.
Rovers would continue to impose their dominance on the game and create multiple chances with former Rover’s keeper Ross Mackinnon being called into action for Mill United. Karolis Grajauskas would also pull off some crucial saves in the second half which warranted his selection as Rovers joint man of the match.
More substitutions would be made by Rovers in the 62nd minute as Kyle Hutcheson replaced Hugh Stuart and Callum Wilson was brought on for Kai Chambers, with both Hugh and Kai putting in great shifts for the hour of the game they played.
Rovers would be awarded a penalty in the 72nd minute and was calmly dispatched by Anton Dunlop who grabbed his second of the game by sending Mackinnon the wrong way.
Another penalty would be awarded to Rovers 10 minutes later, but this time Anton Dunlop was denied from the spot by Mackinnon however Rovers were given yet another penalty straight away. Callum Wilson would step up this time to take the penalty and he managed to score to give Rovers a deserved 4-1 lead with not long left of the game.
Rovers would make 2 more substitutions as Nathan Venning would replace Craig Taylor and Jack Johnstone replaced Dean Neilson. Craig and Dean both had brilliant games while Jack and Nathan would show promise with their attacking play during the small number of minutes on the park.
Goal scorers: Anton Dunlop (2), Dean Neilson (1), Callum Wilson (1)
Men of the match: Karolis Grajauskas/Dean Neilson
