On 65 minutes Bell pulled off two great saves to keep the scores
at zero. It started from a poor kick-out by Bell that went straight to Shearer.
He played the ball into Geruzel who side-stepped his marker and got his shot on
target that Bell tipped around his post for a corner. Macadie swung in the
corner and Geruzel powered in a header from the penalty sport which Bell tipped
over his cross-bar.
Academy were having their best spell of the game. Shaun
Sinclair sent a pass up-field to Hughes and his cross cum shot smacked off the
face of the cross-bar.
Keith were next to have a crack when Robbie Collinson picked
the ball up on the edge of the Academy box. He made himself some space but his
shot deflected off an Academy body and went wide for a corner.
On 72 minutes Academy opened the scoring. More sent a long kick-out up-field that was flicked on by Geruzel. The ball bounce through to
Alan Hughes who took it on the volley 25 yards from goal and it flew into the
top left hand corner.
0 – 1
3 minutes from full-time Keith almost levelled the scores. A
long ball from Stewart Hutcheon was chested down by Matthew McDonald to Sean
Keith just inside the box but he couldn't get a clean contact on his volley and
the ball flew just wide of target.
Full Time – Keith 0 – Wick Academy 1
The result lifts Academy a point above Buckie Thistle into 7th in the table and we now face Brora Rangers at Harmsworth Park next Wednesday night the 26th. That match has an 8:00pm kick-off.
