Spurs were extremely unlucky not to take at least a point from this league match as they fought hard & matched their opponents throughout the game. The driving rain & strong wind made it difficult for both teams, but they served up a cracker of a match that had everything. Spurs went ahead after 7 minutes, a through ball by Ellicott beat the defence & Rutherford was through on the keeper, who got a hand to Rutherfords shot, but the ball still found the net. Scone drew level midway through the half, then took the lead as a shot was forced home from a corner. Half time Spurs 1 Scone 2. The second half started with both teams on the attack, & Scone were awarded a pen after the Scone no 7 went down in the box, the same player took the spot kick but Barclay pulled off a stunning save. From that moment the Spurs seem to get a lift & were relentless as they drove forward, but couldn't get the break of the ball in the Scone box. Scone seemed to be hemmed in & only a few break aways troubled the Spurs defence who were coping well. Scone were then reduced to 10 men as Brown was almost cut in half with a brutal challenge, the offender given a straight red card. With only 6 minutes or so left Spurs broke forward again with Mcintosh & Rutherford exchanging passes before Mcintosh put through Rutherford who then lifted his shot over the keeper for a wonderful goal to tie the match. Spurs seemed to push on for a winner, but with only a minute to go Scone broke down the park to score the winner & to break the Spurs hearts.
