Kick-Off with Postal getting the match underway, immediately looking to impose themselves on the game.
2’ Early pressure from Postal earns a corner. Mackie rises well and heads toward goal. The ball breaks to Wallace, whose left-footed strike crashes off the post—an early warning for Feughside.
3’ Feughside respond with a long-range effort, but Cormack deals with it comfortably.
4’ Giulianotti tries his luck from distance, but his effort sails over the bar.
5’ Feughside’s number 19 turns on the edge of the box and shoots, but Cormack again makes a routine save.

13’ Dowbekin is fouled in a promising area. Wallace steps up for the free kick but hits it straight at the goalkeeper.
15’ – Postal take the lead in the 15th minute. Webster delivers a perfectly weighted ball over the top to Ahmed. He heads toward goal, as the ball loops over the keeper it’s a foot race between Sully and the Keeper with Sully fastest and heads the ball into the back of the net. Great pass and goal. 0-1.
20’ Ahmed is shown a yellow card.
23’ – Postal add another goal with an excellent team move. Giulianotti sends a long ball to Ahmed, who controls well and crosses to Wallace. His shot is saved, but Steele reacts quickest to the rebound and smashes the ball home to double Postal’s lead. 0-2
25’ – Feughside pull one back with a long-range strike. Cormack appears to judge it going wide, but it sneaks into the bottom corner.

37’ Feughside free kick—Grant confidently plucks the ball out of the air.
39’ Another Feughside free kick, and this time Grant produces a strong save, tipping the ball over the bar.

MoM – Sultan Ahmed
Goals – Sultan Ahmed x 3, James Steele
Booked – Phil Wallace, Sultan Ahmed
A great performance from Postal all over the park. Defence looked really strong, midfield full of energy and forward line clinical at times. Special mention to Sultan Ahmed who was unplayable during the match and well deserving of his hattrick.
