EAST FIFE EFFORT GOES WIDE
EAST FIFE'S TRIALIST KEEPER PICKS THE BALL OUT OF THE NET, AFTER RUTHERFORD (OUT OF PIC) SCORES.
ONE-NIL, FIFE NO 4 ENDS UP IN NET WITH BALL, AS THAW (OUT OF PIC) SCORES.
BAND DRIVING FORWARDSPURS MADE THE JOURNEY TO METHIL ON SUNDAY 4TH OF MARCH & HAD TO BATTLE HARD FOR THEIR 2.0 VICTORY. SPURS NEVER QUITE REACHED THEIR TOP FORM OF LATE, AS THE GAME DEVELOPED INTO HARD SLOG.
SPURS DID CREATE SEVERAL GOOD OPENINGS IN THE EARLY PART OF THE MATCH ONLY FOR THE REF TO GIVE OFFSIDE. A RUTHERFORD CROSS WAS HEADED INTO THE NET BY THAW, BUT THE REF AGAIN BLEW HIS WHISTLE, SAYING THE BALL HAD WENT OUT OF PLAY.
THE SECOND PERIOD SAW SPURS TAKE THE LEAD, GOOD BUILD UP PLAY BETWEEN BAND & RUTHERFORD SAW THAW PLAYED THROUGH, WHO THEN SLIPPED THE BALL PAST THE ONRUSHING KEEPER INTO THE NET.
ON THE FEW OCCASIONS THE METHIL TEAM BREACHED THE STRONG SPURS DEFENCE, THEY FOUND KEEPER BARCLAY IN FINE FORM MAKING SOME GREAT STOPS, INCLUDING A TERRIFIC ONE HANDED SAVE FROM RASPING SHOT.
SPURS SCORED THEIR SECOND GOAL IN THE FINAL TWENTY, WITH RUTHERFORDS LEFT FOOT DRIVE CREEPING UNDER THE KEEPER AFTER ANOTHER GOOD SPURS MOVE.
EAST FIFE HAD A GOOD CHANCE NEAR THE END OF THE MATCH , A QUICK BREAK SAW A BLACK & GOLD STRIKER ODDS ON TO SCORE, ONLY FOR BAND TO QUICKLY GET BACK & CLEAR THE DANGER.
AT THE OTHER END SOME GOOD PASSING MOVES FROM THE SPURS CREATED SEVERAL CHANCES, WHICH THE FIFE KEEPER DID WELL TO KEEP OUT.
MAN OF THE MATCH; PAUL BAND WAS STRONG IN DEFENCE, AND ALWAYS WILLING TO PUSH FORWARD.
