Match Report.
Inver Fc 1-5 Rovers
The boys looking to confirm a top 4 finish for the first time in 2 seasons knew they’d have put on a performance in what was a tough playing surface in Tain.
What was a very uneventful first half with both teams having a few half chances and new signing Aaron Hargreaves’s being called in to make a few brilliant saves to make sure we were in the game. The break would come just before half time, a long ball towards the Inver goalie would make the keeper come out his box and try clear his lines. Unfortunately for him Dean Fraser was coming in like a man possessed and pressed the inver keeper into a mistake which the striker would finish calmly into the net. 1-0 Lairg
Half time.
A change in wingers sides with Chris and Jay swapping would pay dividends as both would start to attack down both sides. Jay would be first, he broke down the right hand side after a Lomba through ball. The winger would curl a pin point cross to Deans head and goal! 2-0
Dean would then turn provider after some great player from Chris and Mark would find the striker on the edge of the box, he’d then get his head up and slide Forsyth in who beat his man and finished well into the bottom left! 3-0 and Lairg in cruise control.
Chris would then get in on the action after swapping to the left he started to influence the game well and finally after a mazy run in the box it would take a few deflections but found its way into the net! 4-0
Lairg would then lose Aaron’s clean sheet, Inver who didn’t stop fighting the entire game after a few attacks would get the ball into the box and after a defence mix up the Inver striker would poke home. 4-1
A few changes for Lairg with Lumsden leaving the defence to take a more forward role, this would pay off for Lairg as some brilliant play from Lumsden and Forsyth would leave Lumsden 1v1 with the keeper and the winger would round the keeper and finish the scoring. 5-1
MOTM - Dean Fraser
Gave the team a lot leading his line well and starting the scoring when the game was in the balance. Well done
