two minutes later and Locos threatened again, this time the threat came from
the left, Maitland this time on the left crossed into the box and the break of
the ball fell kindly to Neil Gauld but More was quick to react and make a good
smothering save.
Half time Wick 1 – Inverurie 0
With just a minute of the second half gone Wick playing up the slope and into
the wind nearly doubled their advantage, Gary Weir played the ball to Macadie
who showed a deft touch to let Mackay onto the ball, Mackay sent Allan up the
inside right channel and from just inside the box he dragged his shot wide.
Just before the hour mark Gauld turned away from Farquhar on the left edge of
the box and his curling shot was beaten away by More.
On 62 minutes Wick doubled their lead, Allan drove in from the left towards
goal drawing the keeper, he then squared the ball along the face of goal for Macadie
to tap into the empty goal.
Five minutes later and Locos created a good chance, Bain crossed low from the
right which More got a good hand to to push the ball away, it fell to Ardivan Djahansouzi
and he looked like he had an easy chance to score but Farquhar thought
differently throwing himself in front of the ball to knock it behind for a
corner.
On 74 minutes it should have been game over, Weir held the ball up in the Locos
box and he played it back to Cunningham and he crossed towards the back post
where he found the unmarked Mackay, Mackay volleyed the ball into the ground
and across the face of goal but the ball went agonizingly wide.
Co manager Kenny Coull was on the field a matter of seconds before he set up a
goal for Locos, he skipped a couple of challenges before teeing up Craig Ross
and from 22 yards ross curled the ball into the top right hand corner of the
net to give Inverurie a consolation.
