Bray Nets Treble



Mitch Megginson was suspended for this one with Declan Glass making the bench along with Gillingham & Coulson. For Inverness, Remi Savage returned to the heart of the defence after suspension with Mathew Strachan at left back and James Nolan on the bench along with Calum MacLeod.

The visitors flew out of the blocks with three or four early efforts. Adam Emslie was flagged offside when he 'netted' after ten minutes before Keith Bray rose highest to head in the opener three minutes later following a corner from Alfie Stewart. Ten minutes before the interval and Bray doubled our lead with another super strike on the break forward with Alfie. Twenty minutes from the end Alfie got his own hat-trick with assist No3 for Bray to bag his hat-trick of goals, shooting home from inside the box.
