38 minutes on the clock and Inverurie double their
advantage. John Maitland played a neat one-two with Tommy Wilson and from 25
yards Maitland curled a shot beyond Bokas into the top corner of the net.
2 – 0
Half Time 2 – 0
Academy have two good chances at the start of the second
half. Cunningham and Allan exchanged passes but Allan's shot was saved by
keeper Reid. McKiddie then dinked a great pass over the top of the Locos
defence for Allan and he tried to lob the keeper but he got a hand to the ball
to knock it over the cross bar.
Locos look to have sealed the three points. A long ball is
crossed into the Academy box. Bokas and Macleod had a bit of a mix-up and the
ball ran through to the back post for Gauld to get there just before Farquhar
and the ball crept over the line.
3 – 0
Academy spurn another chance to get back into the game. Joe Steven had a
30 yard shot charged down. The ball spun up in the air and Allan
got his head to it inside the box but his attempt went wide of the
target.
Locos almost increase their lead in the 28th minute. They
played a short corner and Gauld crossed it in for Adam Maitland but his header
cannoned off the post.
A minute later and it's game over for the Scorries. Neish smacked
a 30 yard shot which Bokas parried out. Clark Bain reacted the quickest and
got shot on target that Bokas got a hand
to, but he couldn't prevent the ball from crossing the line.
4 – 0
3 minutes for time Locos almost go nap. Craig Ross fired in
a 30 yard free-kick that Bokas spilled at the back post. In the resulting
scramble Allan managed to clear the danger.
Full Time – 4 – 0
A disappointing result for Academy who now hit the road next
weekend for the Scottish Cup second round tie against Whitehill Welfare.
