Wick Academy 3 v Lossiemouth 1 at Harmsworth Park, Wick - 3.00 p.m kick-off
Wick goals by Shane Sutherland and Craig Shearer (2)
report from www.highlandleague.net
Scorries start moving on up 25-Nov-2006
Wick Academy moved off the bottom of the table with a three one win over Lossiemouth at a muddy Harmsworth Park with Craig Shearer netting a second half double to sink the Coasters.
The Scorries, playing down the slope, had Lossie on the back foot from the start and in the third minute Gary Weir recorded their first effort at goal with a header under pressure from Kevin Stuart.
Both keepers excelled to keep the score level with Flynn making a fine block high to his left before, at the other end, a Gavin Middleton corner was met by Marc Whyte however James More pulled off a miraculous one handed stop before the ball was eventually forced past the post.
A concerted piece of passing play from Wick culminated in the opener in the 31st minute. Shane Sutherland finally collected the ball 9 yards out and he turned his man and drilled a low shot past Graham Flynn to give the homesters a half time lead.
Shane Sutherland had an excellent opportunity to move the Scorries two ahead early in the second period but he shot wide when well placed. Graham Flynn made a fine flying save as Wick produced the best of the openings in a period of battling football.
A ball to the back post picked out Gary Weir and he nodded it back across the face of the goal where the unmarked Craig Shearer was on hand to knock it home from two yards out, killing the game as a contest.
Shearer was to get a fortunate second late on when a free kick was spilled by the unfortunate Graham Flynn. Shane Sutherland was on hand to lay the ball square to Craig Shearer who sidefooted home from close range.
If Shearer was lucky it was nothing compared to the moment of fortunate that turned a well taken free kick from Gavin Middleton into a goal. Middleton had been only a foot away from netting with an earlier free kick which flew over the bar but this one took a crazy bounce right in front of the keeper and, with the pace already on the ball, flew high into the net. A consolation goal but it was little comfort to the Coasters.
