Academy have been the better team and have had several chances to get back into the game, however Cove bring on Danny Milne and he makes an immediate impact scoring with almost his first touch. Cove win a throw-in which is worked to the edge of the box and Milne picks his spot with a flashing header for a good finish.
3 – 0
Academy go straight up the field from the kick-off. They send a long ball over the top of the Cove defence to David Allan who squared to Craig Shearer and he lashed it in from 8 yards.
3 – 1
Academy hit back again with Stevie Cunningham pulling another goal back to set up an exciting last 10 minutes. Stewart Ross pumped the ball long to David Allan. He had a shot that bounced back out off keeper McKenzie and Stevie Cunningham was on hand to smack it into the roof of the net.
3 – 2
In the dying minutes Academy are denied a penalty. Substitute Ross Allan played a one-two with Sam Mackay sending him into the box and he was taken down but referee Sim waved away Academy's cries for a spot kick.
IN the last kick of the game Weir slid a neat pass to Cunningham and the Academy support thought that Cunningham had scored but his shot shaved the paint off the outside of the post with the keeper beat.
So a brave come back from the Scorries but it's Cove that take all 3 points.
Full Time 3 – 2
