SPURS CAPTAIN MATTHEWS & GUTHRIE CLEAR BALL OUT FOR AN ELGIN CORNERSPURS GREAT RUN CONTINUED, WITH THEIR FOURTH STRAIGHT WIN, AFTER A GRITTY PERFORMANCE TO FIGHT BACK FROM GOING BEHIND ON A WINDSWEPT BANKIE PARK ON SUN 18TH MARCH.
SPURS STARTED WITH THE WIND BEHIND THEM, BUT FAILED TO CREATE MANY CLEAR CUT CHANCES, THE BEST EFFORT A THAW SHOT HITTING THE BAR
ELGIN TOOK THE LEAD AFTER A MOVE DOWN THE LEFT, THE BALL WAS THEN STRUCK LOW & HARD IN TO THE BOX, WITH SPURS BAND UNFORTUNATELY TURNING THE BALL IN TO HIS OWN NET.
ELGIN HAD A GREAT CHANCE TO MAKE IT TWO, A GREAT RUN LEFT AN ELGIN FORWARD WITH JUST BARCLAY TO BEAT, WITH THE KEEPER OUT TO NARROW THE ANGLE , THE FORWARD TRIED A LOB WHICH SAILED OVER THE BAR.
SPURS STARTED THE SECOND PERIOD IN TO THE WIND & HAD SEVERAL GOOD CHANCES BUT FAILED TO CONVERT. SPURS WERE COPING BETTER PLAYING IN TO THE FIERCE WIND WITH SOME GREAT FOOTBALL & SCORED A DESERVED EQUALISER, A BAND FREEKICK FELL TO THAW IN THE BOX & HIS SHOT BEAT THE KEEPER.
THE FINAL TWENTY MINUTES WERE END TO END WITH BOTH TEAMS LOOKING FOR THE WINNING GOAL.
WITH LESS THAN A MINUTE TO GO & THE GAME HEADING FOR A DRAW, BAND DROVE OUT OF DEFENCE & MADE A BLISTERING RUN UP THE RIGHT WING BEFORE RELEASING RUTHERFORD, WHO DROVE IN ON GOAL & SLOTTED THE BALL PAST THE KEEPER TO SCORE THE WINNING GOAL.
MAN OF THE MATCH; PAUL BAND WAS STRONG THROUGHOUT THE GAME & SET UP BOTH SPURS GOALS.
