On 49 minutes Academy created the first chance of the second

swung it into the back post. Grant Steven knocked it back across goal for Marc
MacGregor to tap home from 2 yards out for his 2nd goal of the game.

On 56 minutes Academy were awarded a penalty. Davie Allan cut into the box and tried to

wrong way and fired into the bottom right hand corner.

On 62 minute referee Leslie awarded Academy their second
penalty of the match. Davie Allan was again played into the box and as he

and made no mistake putting Academy nap and the game well beyond the reach of
the home side.

Academy looked as if they were going to score in every
attack and 10 minutes from time they hit again. Gary Weir had come on for Marc
MacGregor and he got himself on the score-card hammering home a low left footed
shot from 17 yards out into the bottom left hand corner.
0 – 8
A minute later and the goals kept coming. The ball was
worked out to the right wing to Steven Anderson. He cut into the box and from a
tight angle fired a great left footed shot into the top corner of McIntosh's
net.

In the final minutes Sam Mackay had a chance to make it 10
when he got onto the end of a Davie Allan cross, but he screwed his shot just
