in 38 minutes Academy doubled their lead. Sam Mackay pushed
up-field and slid the ball to David Allan and he netted his second of the game
lashing the ball past a helpless Martin.
2 – 0
A minute later Allan and Mackay combined again. This time
Allan squared the ball across goal with
his speed leaving the Brora defence at sixes and sevens and Mackay slotted home
past an outstretched Martin in the Brora goal.
3 – 0
Half Time 3 – 0
Brora started the second half with a bit more vigour and 4 minute
in Gary Farquhar has a good shot that Bokas palmed away.
4 minutes later Farquhar tried his hand again when he got
onto the end of a punch-out clearance from Bokas but he couldn't keep his
attempt down and it went over the cross bar.
in the 55th minute the floodlights went out. Fortunately it
was still light enough for the game to continue, and Brora pulled a goal
straight back. Ronnie Jones cut in from the right and curled an 18 yard shot past
Bokas into the corner of his net.
3 – 1
Academy were awarded a penalty straight from the re-start.
David Allan burst into the Brora box with the ball at his feet. Sean Munro slid
in and looked to have won the ball, but referee Baxter pointed to the spot.
Mackay took the spot kick but Martin made a good stop diving to his left to block
the ball.
Gary Weir came on for David Allan with 70 minutes played and
he got his name on the score sheet within 3 minutes of his arrival. Mackay
played the ball up the line for Macadie who whipped a low curling cross into
the box. It evaded the Brora defence and Weir stormed in at the back post and
slammed home.
4 – 1
Nigel MacKenzie had two good attempts blocked by Bokas
before Academy scored the best goal of the game. Gary Manson played a neat one-two with Mackay
which won him a yard of space and he smacked a right foot shot off his lacers
from 25 yards out that flew into the top corner of the net.
5 – 1
Brora managed to pull another back with 4 minutes of play left.
Bokas came and flapped at a corner ball. It fell to substitute Scott McKain and
his shot managed to find the net after it looked to have taken a slight flick off
an Academy player in the box.
