Spurs picked up their first win of the season at sunny Recreation park. Spurs were out the traps quickly, a ball through to Thaw who beat a defender before being brought down, Thomson took the spot kick which was saved by the Town keeper.Spurs didn't have to wait too long for the opening goal, a driven free kick by Guthrie from all of 35 yards was fumbled by the keeper where Thaw was quickly in to stab the ball home.Stubbs made it two for spurs with a strong drive from the edge of the box that hit the post & in. Rutherford made a good run down the left beat the defence & crossed the ball which flew into the top corner. No scoring in the second period as Town came more into the game. Kirkcaldy did pull a goal back in the last period before Murray scored spurs fourth with a great goal, Ellicott crossed the ball in from the right where Murray was at the back post to acrobatically volley the ball in to the net. Town pulled another back, before Rutherford tied up the scoring with a headed goal from a Thomson cross. A fine team display from the spurs, with the defence looking strong, & will get better with games, also some strong performances in midfield, & at last some passing from the boys.
