Lossiemouth 2 v Keith 0

MAROONS LOSE OUT AT LOSSIE 

Following the inexplicable collapse at Banff, manager Craig Ewen rang the changes for the midweek fixture at Lossiemouth. Sadly, despite having a hatful of chances in the first half, they ended up losing out to two second half goals for the hosts.

Recalled Matty Tough pulled a fine save out of Logan Ross with a header early on, before dangerman Kieran Mooney twice went close with shots and Tom Andrews also firing inches past the post. The ‘keeper rose to the occasion  again seven minutes from the break pulling off a fine diving save to palm away Stewart Hutcheon’s powerful header.

The Maroons were stunned two minutes into the second half when Liam Archibald got the final touch in a crowded six yard box. That seemed to set back on their heels and failed to force any sort of save out of the goalie. The points were sewn up for the homesters with a fine looping header from Fraser Forbes from 12 yards.  A disappointing outcome for the visitors given the opportunities they had in the first half.

KEITH – Irvine, Hutcheon, Wilson, Thomas (Coull 79), Robertson, Yunus, Emmett (Ironside 66), Brownie, Mooney, Tough, Andrews (Nawrocki 76). Subs unused – Grant, Abdulkarim, Killoh, Duncan. 

Referee – Mr K Buchanan
