Strollers 3 Spurs 2 (Rutherford, Gay )

A great start to this match by Spurs against Strollers at their new home in Stenton, but a poor second half by the East Neuk boys saw the points stay in Glenrothes. Spurs started brightly & deserved to go ahead through Rutherford as he angled a drive across the keeper in to the bottom corner following a good run down the right. Spurs were creating some good chances, going close several times, a pass back gave Spurs an indirect free kick in the box, with Gay shaving the bar from the kick. Spurs went two up with a stunning goal, Gay collected the ball from 30 yards out & as the ball bounced up the Spurs captain unleashed a thunderbolt of a shot that flew into the top corner with the keeper rooted to the spot. Spurs then had a chance to go three goals up as the ref awarded hand ball in the box, but the Strollers keeper stood firm & saved Beatties spot kick. Strollers then got a lifeline as they pulled a goal back after a miss directed clearance from the defence ended up in the back of the Spurs net.
Half time Strollers 1 Spurs 2.
Strollers started the second half the hungrier team & pulled another goal back to square the match. Spurs then seemed to loose their shape & their energy as spaces appeared all over the park, Strollers took full advantage & scored their third & winning goal. Spurs did have several chances to tie the match but could'nt find the net.
