The difficult festive fixture list looked to have drained both sides of energy in an uneventful first half with little goalmouth action. The half-time tea and oranges seemed to revitalise Nil Satis much more and they took the lead eight minutes after the break. Young striker Anthony Gordon’s shot from outside the box took a huge deflection past the wrong-footed Trusted keeper to open the scoring. You don’t buy a ticket, you don’t win the raffle! Still there was little response from Beef’s team and Gordon doubled the lead 23 minutes later, timing his run into the box perfectly to meet a cross from the right and sweetly place the ball in the bottom corner.

While Trusted were still reeling from this goal Nil Satis made it three. Paul’s Player of the Season last campaign, Stuart Dallas, had time to place a shot from the edge of the D into the corner and wrap things up. Nil Satis saw out the rest of the game and take the PCMT back to St Domingo’s for the first time.
