Tayport headed North today for a first round match with Brechin Victoria in the NCR Cup. Port playing down the steep slope were soon in control across the midfield. 10 minutes and Port were awarded a free kick 30yds out on the right. Up stepped Gareth Dailly who sent the ball bending around the two man wall and leaving the goalkeeper stranded only to be denied the opener by the right hand upright. Port continued to take control with Gareth Dailly relishing in a midfield roll spreading the ball from right to left. On the 26th minute mark Port got the breakthrough that was on the cards. A Steven Stewart corner on the left was sent straight to John Elliot who sent a first time volley high into the right corner from 23 yards. 2 minutes later a Kevin Heenan piercing run down the right with Kevin cutting inside to send in a searching cross which was intercepted by a sliding Vic defender who deflected the ball into the near corner of the net. Tayport continued to press the Brechin goal with the best of the remaining first half chances falling to Sean Christie who was closed down quickly by the Vics defence. Tayport opened the second period in similar fashion to their previous matches this season with some strong pressure. 57 minute and a John Elliot penalty had Port 3-0 ahead, 64 Minutes and Kevin Heenen sent in a cracking right foot shot from 20 yards high into net. Port continued to control the match with Frazer Fitzpatrick rarely tested.
Ralph Hunter and Brian Craik came on for Ben Honeyman and Sean Christie.
