OSBOURNE TAKES THE BISCUIT.
MERTON 0 - KENLEY 5.
A devastating second half showing enabled Kenley to see off a stubborn Merton side on Saturday.
Kenley were continually frustrated by the home side's packed defence during a goalless first half, but a frank half time discussion ensured a much improved second display. Substitute Alistair Osborne played a major part in changing the course of the game and it was he who set the ball rolling with the game's opening goal. A free-flowing passing move created space for Osborne on the right who easilys cored.
A minute later Osborne doubled Kenley's lead with a masterful solo goal that saw him jink past three defenders and slot home at the near post. That was the signal for Merton's previously solid defence to crumble and Osborne soon created a third for Simon Beck. Sean McArthur made it four and Osborne completed a memorable hat-trick with a last minute penalty flick to make it five.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
