Match Report

Just kicked off at Mosset Park. Craig Shearer and Bryan McKiddie are still missing for Academy in the middle of the park, and Ross Allan makes the starting line-up. Alex Lamb sits out a one game suspension following his red card against Deveronvale last weekend. Alan Bokas stands in between the sticks for James More.

15 minutes played and Forres have had a couple chances. Kyle Scott has had two good headers at target and a Gary Youngson shot has flown inches past the top left corner of the post.

23 minutes and Forres attack again. David Chambers crossed to the back post and Kyle Scott got a header on target that Alan Bokas saved.

No real goal scoring chances for Academy thus far.

Academy have a half-chance with just over 30 minutes played. A good passing movement got Macadie into position but from 20 yards out he dragged his shot wide keeper right hand post.

In 40 mins Bruce Milne swung in a cross from the right to the back post and Darren Shallicker got a header on target that Bokas did really well to turn around for a corner.

5 minutes from the half-time break Academy take the lead against the run of play. Macadie latched onto a long ball and flicked it onto Ross Allan. He ran onto the ball and from 16 yards out fired a right foot shot past keeper Knight for his first goal for the Scorries.

0 - 1

Forres only took minutes to level the game. Andrew MacLeod gave away a free kick 25 yards from goal. Shallacker took the free kick and sent a scorcher into the top right hand corner.

1 - 1

Half Time 1 - 1

Academy regain the lead with 25 minutes of the second half played. They win a free kick on the half way line. Manson fired the ball long to Davie Cowie on the edge of the box. His first touch isn't great, but managed to take back control of the ball and rifled a shot into the top left hand corner of the net.

1 - 2

For the second time in the game Forres square the scores. A corner is swung in from the left and Kyle Scott was unmarked in the box and powered home his header from 7 yards out.

2 - 2

Neither team could snatch a winner so the points are shared.

Full time 2 - 2
