Radzynski rocket delivers win for Leith

Leith Athletic 2 Gretna 2008 1

GRETNA made the breakthrough with a good move when a Andy Hardman pass sent Steven Black in to side foot his strike past Iain Gordon on the 34th minute.

Leith responded with a decent Darren Lockhart effort before a good strike from Steven Radzynski was well held by Josh Richardson in the Gretna goal.

Just before half time an excellent Euan Campbell corner was whipped in right to the back post. Josh Richardson misjudged the flight of the ball and it flew into the net to level the game at half time.

Leith made a positive start to the second half when Mark Duthie got the by-line and delivered a quality cross for Radzynski to go close with a header just over the bar. However the winning goal was one for Leith to saviour. Sub Greg Irvine found Radzynski with his back to goal just outside the centre circle. He took one touch to go past his two markers and hit an unstoppable shot from fully 35 yards into the top corner on the 81st minute.
