Min 3: Haggis Pakora (MM) swings a ball in to the Preston box...
        ...but the presence of Sylvester Iamato (PNE) means it is easily cleared.
Min 9: Terrible MAESTROS defending as Crianlarich gives it away to Hank Nandy (PNE)...
        ...his poor shot was parried by The Fort...
        ...but it came back to Chris Harling and his shot took a deflection on its way in. GOAL!...
        ...it's a lead that Steve Gregory's side deserve - can they add to it before the break?...

Min 10: Midwest Indigo (MM) passes a great ball to Haggis Pakora...

        ...but RAWFEAR (MM) clears with ease.

        ...but Marcus Riemann (PNE) muscles out the big striker before he can control.
Min 34: Kelvin Dale (MM) weaves on the edge of the box...
        ...little pass to Semi-Automatic...
        ...and his teammate drives from the edge of the box...
        ...past Mick Aylesbury. GOAL!...
        ...and Merrylee have the lead...
        ...score now: MM 2 - PNE 1
Min 42: Alan Armstrong almost penetrates MAESTROS's sheilds with a dazzling volley...
