Wick Academy FC Early on in the match James More is called into action to make a good save, but Academy have a better chance when Richard Macadie bursts into the Fraserburgh box and squared to Shane Sutherland, but a Fraserburgh defender intercepted the ball.
1 – 0
2 – 0
Academy have had 3 good chances with Shane Sutherland and Weir, but all 3 shots are wide of target and don’t trouble keeper Gordon.
Fraserburgh go 3 up in the last minute of the first half. Main broke through the Academy defence and fired home from the left side of the penalty box.
Half Time 3 – 0
5 minutes into the second half and Hale almost got his hat-trick, hitting the post from a powerful shot.
55 minutes and West also goes close, sending a flashing header just past Mores post.
With an hour gone it’s Academy’s turn to hit the post. Shane Sutherland slipped Macadie into a good position 15 yards from goal, and even though surrounded by 4 defenders Macadie got in a left foot shot that beat keeper Gordon, but cannoned off his post.
Academy then have two further good chances in the 66th and 67th minute. Shane Sutherland first shooting over from close range after a good inter-changing move with Macadie, and then Macdie heading over the top from a corner kick.
With 15 minutes left in the game Shane Sutherland gives Academy a life-line as he manages to pull a goal back. A real melee in the Fraserburgh box from a Gary Farquhar free-kick which was drilled into the box by David Cowie, and Shane was on hand to slot home from 8 yards.
3 – 1
5 minutes later and Fraserburgh restore their 3 goal advantage. They force 3 corners in the space of as many minutes, and from their 3rd corner Christie rose unchallanged to head home.
4 – 1
In the 86th minute More pulls off a wonder diving save to deny Neil McLaren.
