Rothes 5 Spurs 4 (Thaw 2 ,Beattie, Wood )

Spurs failed to build on Sundays win as defencive lapses were to prove costly. Spurs got of to a great start when they took the lead within a minute, the Rothes keeper failed to hold a 40 yard free kick from Herd & Thaw was following up to bury the rebound. Rothes drew level with their first real attack, a quick break up the left by the Rothes winger who outpaced Herd, as the cross came into the box Mayes sliced his clearance over Barclay & into the net. Minutes later Rothes had the lead when a corner was headed home. Beattie tied the scores when he headed home a long throw in from Gay. Rothes took the lead after another cross was drilled home. The home team extended their lead after a scramble in the box fell to a Rothes player who shot home. Spurs pulled a goal back when a Beattie cross was met at the back post by Thaw who's volley found the corner. Rothes were reduced to ten men after a reckless tackle on Herd, but it was Rothes who scored again, the ref awarded a free kick for a pass back, & with the spurs slow to organise, a quick free kick was blasted into the net. Spurs pushed on & were rewarded with another goal with the best move of the match, Mcintosh received the ball wide on the left, he beat a man & passed to Rutherford who then passed to boon, who laid it off to Wood who was making a run into the box, Wood took the ball forward before drilling the ball in the corner. Spurs had another good move in the final minute, the ball finally being cut back to Beattie, but he couldn't quite connect with the shot.
