Academy will play no more part in this season's Highland
League Cup after being dumped out of the competition by visitors Lossiemouth.
Academy started the game playing up the Harmsworth slope
with a strong blustery wind at their back. The Scorries had several pots on
goal that either went just wide of target or straight to Lossie keeper Errol
Watson.
Lossie however went closest to opening the scoring when Grant Steven cleared
a Ryan Farquhar shot off his line that had beat James More.
Half Time – Wick Academy 0 – Lossiemouth 0
Five minutes into the second half the visitors took the lead. Callum Dunbar
slid a ball through the middle of the Academy defence which slipped past Alan
Farquhar. Elliot Winters ran onto it and from the right hand edge of the
Academy box he steered his shot across the body of James More and into the
corner of his net.
0 – 1
A mixture of dogged Lossiemouth defending and poor Academy passing kept the
score at 0-1 and as the game looked to be all over Academy had a shout for
a penalty when Kevin Flett appeared to have stuck his knee into David Allan who
hit the floor. In the stramash that followed Sam Mackay got involved and was
sent off by referee Alan Frew for raising his hands.
Worse was to follow when Lossiemouth broke from defence deep into injury
time and a long ball found substitute Scott Dunn who raced onto it and was
brought down by James More just inside the Academy box. More was booked for the
challenge and Dunn fired home the spot kick off the inside of More's left hand
post.
0 – 2
Full time – Wick Academy 0 – Lossiemouth 2
Lossiemouth now face an away tie to Huntly in the next round.
