Mackay played a pass to Geruzel who set up Pickles onto 7 yards out but his
driven shot whistled just past the outside of Robertson's right hand post.
Half-time – Wick Academy 1 – Fort William 0
It took 11 minutes of the second half before either side
looked close to increasing the scoring. Ross Allan played a long ball up-field
for Sam Mackay who took it on his chest stepped into the box but from 18 yards
he smoked his shot over the cross-bar.
In 64 minutes Barry Wilson swapped the Allan brothers with
Davie coming on for younger brother Ross.
5 minutes later Geruzel had a shot that took a flick off a
defender and looked as if it was going to trickle over into the goal but Darren
Quiqq scrambled back and cleared it off the line.
With 10 minutes left to play manager Barry Wilson came on
for Geruzel.
Clear-cut chances were few and far between but Academy had
one more good chance to double their lead when Cunningham floated a long ball
over the top for Davie Allan to collect and run into the box. Lewis Campbell
tried to close him down but Allan got his shot off 8 yards from goal and it
went straight into the arms of keeper Robertson, a yard either side would have
burst the net.
