Another point on the board.
Stonehaven Athletic 2-2 HR Nicolls
We started on the front foot dominating the game going up 1-0 after 10 minutes when a sublime through ball by A. Whyte was met by the on rushing E. Gordon and he absolute smashed the ball past the keeper into the roof of the net.
The game then took a turning point around 35 minutes in when the ref who throughout the game would constantly blow the whistle for any contact made gave a straight red to B. Duncan after a comment made for yet another poor decision made. We seen the half out comfortably.
HT 1-0
Nicolls changed their shape going more attacking which we took our time to adjust to being a man down. They got level 5 minutes into the half and went ahead 15 minutes later. Credit has to be given to the lads us they dug deep and we got back level with 10 minutes to go when a free kick from L. Ross was met by big brother C. Ross who’s header looped over the visiting goalkeeper.
Half chances for both teams would come to get the winner but it remained a point a piece.
FT 2-2
Difficult one to decide if two points dropped or a good point gained. No doubt at all we would have won the game with eleven men on the park but given the circumstances can be viewed a good point playing more than a half with a man down.
