SPURS STARTED THE SECOND HALF NEEDING A GOAL TO GET BACK INTO THE GAME & IT CAME THROUGH GRAEME GUTHRIE WHO COLLECTED A BALL 25 YDS OUT & THUNDERED THE BALL HIGH INTO THE NET TO LEAVE WULLIE MATTHEWS IN GOAL NO CHANCE. THE OLD BOYS SCORED AGAIN WHEN GORDON BAND HIT A LONG RANGE SHOT THAT SPUN OUT OF SCOTT BARCLAYS HANDS & CROSSED THE LINE. SPURS WERE NOT FINISHED, AS THE OLD BOYS STARTED TO FEEL THE PACE OF THE GAME GUTHRIE SCORED ANOTHER LONG RANGE EFFORT FOR THE SPURS THAT LEFT MATTHEWS IN GOAL CLAWING FRESH AIR. SPURS TAILS WERE NOW UP & SCORED ANOTHER GOAL THROUGH PAUL BAND AFTER HESITATION IN THE OLD BOYS DEFENCE. SPURS THEN TIED THE GAME THROUGH GED RUTHERFORD WHO FOUND SPACE IN THE OLD BOYS BOX TO DRILL A SHOT PAST MATTHEWS. OLD BOYS HAD SEVERAL CHANCES TO GO IN FRONT AGAIN BUT POOR FINISHING KEPT KEPT THE SCORE EVEN UNTIL A FEW MINUTES FROM THE END WHEN SPURS SCORED A CONTROVERSIAL WINNER, IN ONE OF SPURS BEST PASSING MOVES OF THE GAME MORRISON GATHERED THE BALL IN MIDFIELD BEFORE PASSING TO KEVIN MURRAY WHO PLAYED IN SEAN McIntosh & HIS SHOT IN THE CORNER BEAT THE KEEPER DESPITE THE OLD BOYS CLAIMING OFFSIDE.
