Paisley Pirates maintained their perfect start to the league season with a 5-1 victory over North Ayrshire Wild at Auchenharvie.<\/p>\n
Aiden Wilson led the scoring with two goals, while Chris Wilson, Bari McKenzie and Cale Tanaka also found the net for the Pirates.<\/p>\n
The result makes it three wins from three for Paisley and leaves them third in the league table with six points.<\/p>\n
They are level on points with second-placed Dundee and two points behind leaders Whitley, having played one game fewer.<\/p>\n
The Pirates have scored 13 goals and conceded six in their opening three league games, giving them a goal difference of plus seven.<\/p>\n
There were some familiar faces in the North Ayrshire line-up, with former Pirates netminder Euan Simpson and forward Ross Andreucci both facing their former club.<\/p>\n
Pirates defender Calum Blair, who is in his 15th year with the club, was ejected from the game for a third-man-in infraction.<\/p>\n
Cale Tanaka was named the Pirates’ Man of the Match after scoring one of their five goals.<\/p>\n
Paisley now face an away double-header this weekend.<\/p>\n
They travel to Murrayfield to face Edinburgh on Saturday, 3rd October, at 6.30pm.<\/p>\n
Edinburgh have also made a perfect start to their league campaign, winning their opening two games and sitting fifth with four points.<\/p>\n
The Pirates then travel to Dumfries to face fourth-placed Solway on Sunday, 4th October, at 5.15pm.<\/p>\n
Solway have five points from their opening five games as Paisley look to continue their unbeaten league start on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
