Spurs 4 (Rutherford 2, Hall, Gay ) Strollers 3

An exciting end to end league match saw Spurs win all three points, thanks to a penalty save from Barclay. Spurs were down to the bare bones, & with just ten available players Niall Hall made a welcome return to the team. Spurs went ahead through Rutherford, who made space in the box before placing his shot in the corner. The East Neuk side then made it two, as a good break up the right led to Hall squaring the ball for Boon who's shot was well saved by the keeper, but Hall was following up to stroke home the rebound. Strollers were in no mood to roll over, and grabbed a goal back, minutes later they scored again to tie the match as the Spurs seemed to lose their concentration. Half time 2.2. The home side had it all to do again, but were creating chances, as were the Strollers who were using the long ball to good effect with their quick strikers. Spurs went ahead with Rutherford again creating space with his dribbling skills before rifling a shot into the net. Spurs made it four, a good corner from Rutherford, & Gay had made an excellent run to volley a shot high into the net. The strollers fought back scoring straight from the kick off, a through ball put the forward through, & he tucked his shot away. Spurs were denied a penalty as Rutherford appeared to be pushed in the box, but moments later the ref awarded the Strollers a spot kick with Ellicott being penalised for fouling, although it looked as if the Glenrothes player tripped over his own feet, Barclay was the Spurs hero as he dived to his left to make a super save.
