A great performance from the Spurs as they turned on the style to win the last league game of the season. Spurs had a great chance to go ahead early in the game when they were awarded a penalty for hand ball, but Gay's effort went just past the post. Spurs had several half chances but good defending kept Beattie & Rutherford out. Elgin went ahead when a long ball found their striker & he went through to score, although he looked offside. The second period saw Spurs searching for the equaliser, & after several promising moves they grabbed the goal they deserved, with Beattie racing up the left & rifling a left foot shot which the keeper could only parry, but Rutherford was alert to score. The third period started with Spurs on the attack & Gay scored a great goal after receiving the ball in midfield he looked up & lofted his shot over the keeper from all of forty yards. Spurs now found a bit of confidence & were passing well & creating more chances. A good move saw Rutherford out wide & with the Elgin keeper slipping Rutherford netted from a tight angle. Rutherford scored the fourth & completed his hat-trick when he collected a pass on the left & rifled a shot into the corner. A fine team performance right through from the keeper, & solid defence a strong midfield & busy forwards.
