On 37 minutes Craig Dorrat played a
one two with Ewan, the cross finds Mackenzie at the back post but he can only
head over the bar.
Wick took the lead on 43 minutes with a goal of the season contender from
Martin Gunn. Richard Macadie's cross was not properly cleared and the ball
fell nicely to Gunn 25 yards out and he unleashed a first time unstoppable
volley into the bottom corner to give Academy the lead.
just a minute later it was 2-0 Macadie's cross found Sutherland and he took a
touch before coolly slotting home.
Half time Wick 2 – Turriff 0
Just two minutes into the second half and we see another goal of the season
contender. Wick's Alan Farquhar can only head a cross out as far as Dean Cowie
and from a similar position to Martin Gunn in the first half he unleashed an
unstoppable volley into the top corner, game on.
Wick were nearly 3-1 up after 66 minutes, a Macadie free-kick from 25 yards
came crashing back off the face of the bar and Shearer could only head the
rebound over.
Just three minutes later Turriff were on level terms, Donald Fraser drove down
the right wing and his cross into the six yard box found Ewan, the ball seemed
to get caught under his feet but he managed to back-heel the ball home.
Just 6 minutes later and Turriff took the lead for the first time in the game,
Mackenzie played a one two with Ewan and Mackenzie waltzes through the wick
defence but his shot hit the post, the rebound falls to Fraser and he makes no
mistake with the rebound.
On 82 minutes Turriff put the game beyond doubt with a fourth, Grant Noble
linked up well with Ewan and from the left of the box he curled a shot into the
top corner of the goal.
Just to complete the misery for Wick Turriff added a fifth in stoppage time, a
cross from the left found Fraser and his cutback found Noble and he added his
second of the game with the aid of a deflection off of Craig Shearer.
Full time Wick 2 – Turriff 5
The result is Academy's highest league goals against tally of the season and the first time
since March 2008, when Buckie beat us by the same score-line, that
Academy have lost 5 goals at home.
