With one win and one loss over the past two games, The Loganholme Metro One Reserves provided the consistency they have been working for with a 2-0 win over Grange Thistle.
While coach Col Hume was sidelined with a broken leg, Loganholme FC looked injured providing sluggish football in the first half though digging deep in defence to stay even with the opposition.
Chances came and went as the Lightning struggled to finish each opportunity, breaking numerous times down the lines and looking dangerous in attack.
Glad to hear the half time whistle, The Reserves continued to fight hard for form early in the second half, improving with each minute until striker Agim found the net in the 64th minute to lift the Loganholme FC side.
On a high from a breakthrough, Lightning continued to penetrate the Grange Thistle defence and putting pressure on the keeper.
Grange hit back hard looking to even the score, pushing an extra man into the midfield and causing numerous overlaps in attack.
Loganholme stayed strong holding out a fierce and hungry opposition with some much needed defensive work from the forwards to the backs as a unit.
Central Midfielder Matthew Taylor slid into his role with ease providing the second goal of the match in the 81st minute as the pressure valve was released on the Grange side.
A goalless response kept a disappointing Grange Thistle out of the game and helping the Loganholme FC side to their second win of the season.
Stamping their foot on the competition and letting their presence known, the reserves have put in their bid for the 2009 premiership.
