WITH SPURS GAME AT DUNFERMLINE POSPONED DUE TO A WATERLOGGED PITCH, SPURS TOOK TO THE FIELD AGAINST KENNOWAY 95'S IN A FRIENDLY.
THE YOUNGER KENNOWAY TEAM, UNBEATEN IN THEIR OWN LEAGUE THIS YEAR STARTED VERY BRIGHTLY, PLAYING SOME VERY GOOD FOOTBALL, & HAD SPURS PINNED BACK FOR MOST OF THE FIRST PERIOD.
IN THE SECOND PERIOD SPURS TOOK THE LEAD AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY, WHEN RUTHERFORD PASSED OUT WIDE TO MCGHEE, WHO STRUCK A GREAT SHOT IN TO THE TOP CORNER FROM A DIFFICULT ANGLE. KENNOWAY GOT RIGHT BACK IN TO THE GAME WHEN A DEFENSIVE MIX UP ALLOWED THEIR FORWARD TO PICK HIS SPOT. THEY SOON MADE IT 2 AFTER MORE SLACK PLAY FROM THE SPURS REARGUARD . KENNOWAY SCORED THEIR THIRD AFTER A GOOD BREAK, & A FINE FINISH. AT THE START OF THE THIRD PERIOD SPURS HAD A FEW CHANCES BUT COULD NOT FIND THE NET.
KENNOWAY SCORED THEIR FOURTH AFTER SPURS PLAYERS FAILING TO CLEAR THE BALL OUT OF DEFENCE.
WITH TEN MINUTES TO GO LOW MADE A STRONG RUN IN MIDFIELD TO PLAY IN RUTHERFORD & HIS SHOT FOUND THE CORNER OF THE NET TO PUT SPURS BACK IN THE GAME.THE KENNOWAY TEAM WERE NOW FEELING THE PACE OF THE GAME, & WERE STARTING TO TIRE . SPURS WERE NOW PASSING & FINDING SPACE, & SCORED THEIR THIRD WHEN THOMSON FIRED THE BALL HOME AFTER A MIX UP IN THE KENNOWAY BOX. SPURS SCORED AGAIN WHEN RUTHERFORD WAS PLAYED IN & HE MADE NO MISTAKE TO BLAST THE BALL IN TO THE NET FOR HIS SECOND OF THE GAME, & TO TIE THE MATCH AT 4.4. SPURS THEN HAD A CHANCE TO SNEAK IT AT THE DEATH, BUT A DRAW WAS A FAIR RESULT FROM AN ENTERTAINING MATCH.
