Spurs ran Bayside very close in this league encounter at Dunfermline, with the home side just edging the match by one goal. On a tight pitch which made passing football difficult for both teams, Spurs competed well against a physical Bayside team. The home team went ahead in the first period with a shot that went in off the post. Spurs kept a good shape & restricted Baysides chances in front of goal. The second period belonged to Spurs who equalised when a Herd free - kick found Rutherford who dinked his shot past the advancing keeper. Spurs went ahead minutes later with a similar goal, another Herd free - kick over the Bayside defence, with the ball being deflected in to the Bayside net. Bayside were now rattled, but came out for the final period in determined fashion, bursting through on goal several times before they finally drew level with a break down the left & a cool finish. Bayside then went ahead after Spurs failed to clear the ball our of their box. Spurs were unlucky not to score when Beattie had a strong run & shot that clipped the bar. Bayside then scored a fourth with a long range effort that found the top corner, Spurs kept going & were rewarded when Thaw burst down the left & finished well. A strong finish from Spurs but Bayside held on for the win. Another improved performance from the Spurs.
