No one could accuse PSFC of making a meal out of Currie last night as they stretched their winning streak to three games. The only down side was the news that last weeks clean sheet couldn't be counted because it wasn't an 11-a-side match. Bad luck lads.
The pre-match talk had focused on the mis-communicating Sullivan/Jamieson striking partnership amid rumours that the pair had been seen at their local branch of RELATE last week. However, after this showing from the "poachers in crime", it could turn out to be the best double act since Roger de Courcey first put his hand up Nookie Bear.
There may well be another trophy winging its way to forgotten hitman Gary Sullivan, after he curled the first goal into the postage stamp barely 15 seconds into the game. Two further strikes from Jamieson and Kipanda (his third in three games) seemingly had Primaries well on the way to a comfortable three goal advantage before half time.
However, regular followers of The Travelling Dangleberries fortunes will know that nothing is simple when it comes to holding a lead (just ask Barbara Woodhouse).
After Currie captain Fusco had dribbled through the entire defence to slot his first, a crass challenge on the edge of the box presented Currie with the chance to claw another goal back before the break.
Dr Martin Tourettes (pictured) carefully positioned the wall and even had the tubby Sullivan on a post to be sure (have you turned Irish?? -Ed). Unfortunately, McCann totally bottled it as the set piece was struck, allowing the ball to fire into an unguarded net.
To be honest, Dear Reader, it's the first time I've seen a Goalie duck since the Keith & Orville's World of Soccer DVD I stole from the Gylemuir Bring & Buy Sale.
Primaries 3-2 Currie/Balerno HT
It was still a tense encounter and the same old doubts resurfaced as Sullivan and Jamieson were told by Gaffer Kay to "Put Up or Shut Up" (that's the new slogan for the British Shelf Making Championships! - Ed)
Primaries got back to basics second half and a lovely passing move allowed Sullivan to play in Gilhooley to stroke in his first of a timely brace.
After Gilhooley headed in a vicious Morrison corner, it was time for the much maligned Sullivan to take to the floor. His second of the afternoon was a volleyed finish after sterling work from Jamieson and he completed his Hat-Trick after heading home from his own initial shot.
Currie stand in for the day, Chris, was soon rolling about in agony after a blow to his unmentionables (Do you mean his testicles? - Ed) prompting McCann to loudly inquire "Someone check if he still has one ball!!".
Sullivan just couldn't stop scoring by now and he took full advantage of Chris' injury by ripping the ball away from the dithering defender to slot home his fourth.
There was still time for Sullivan's fifth and PSFC's ninth as Jamieson once again showed fleet-footed determination to ghost away on the wing and cross for one of "Kid Goals" trademark side foot volleys. (Does that mean that Sullivan is leading the scoring charts again - Ed?? Why, yes it is! - asst. Ed)
Full Time.
