Into the Black
The two teams that got off to the best start last weekend met at the newly Christened SarensPSG Stadium but they start the day at opposite ends of the table due to our five point deduction in the aftermath of administration. Scott Kellacher had the pleasant dilemma of choosing his squad on merit rather than who is fit although Ross Millen, Adam MacKinnon and Jake Davidson require more time with Doc Proc before getting back on the pitch. Paul Allan made the bench. Peterhead have put together a decent squad full of Eastern promise with a few ex-Dons in their squad and plenty of experience in there as well. Peter Pawlett was injured last week and missed out, but Jack Newman, Cammy Smith, Jason Brown all started.
The Caley Jags took a deserved lead as half time approached, the tenacity and quality of Wotherspoon on the end of a superb move. Liam Sole added a second ten minutes into the second period and that ended the scoring. Alas he went off injured soon after and with that the game went into a bit of a lull as the hosts recorded their second win to climb into positive points with Peterhead rarely troubling the home goal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A blustery afternoon that had already seen off the Moy Game Fair greeted the sides as the game got underway, the Caley Jags shooting towards the North Stand. A bright opening for the hosts put Peterhead on the back foot from the off. Although we dominated possession, Jack Newman was underworked in the visitors goal. Alfie Stewart brought out a great save from him after half an hour with a ferocious twenty-five yarder, the keeper flying high across goal to deny the wee man. The opening goal came five minutes before the break and it was a well worked move finished of by Wotherspoon. The set up was superb from Billy Mckay chesting an Alfie Stewart through ball down before laying it out wide for Oscar McIntyre to drill a low ball into the six yard box where Spoony did brilliantly to turn the ball into the net at the front post. We almost added a second but Newman saved brilliantly to deny Spoony with an acrobatic save.
HALF TIME: 1-0
Liam Sole knocked in a second in the fifty-fifth minute after a Longstaff shot had been blocked by the keeper or the post but unfortunately Sole limped off injured minutes later. Enter Alfie Bavidge and it wasn't long before he was in action dragging a shot wide after a good run to the box, cutting in from the left. He then combined with Billy Mckay but the veteran striker saw Newman tip his shot over. The final twenty was a bit of a lull with Inverness in total control. A late cross from the left saw the ball strike a defender and bounced close to the base of the post and out for a corner and with the home feet off the throttle another snippet for a consolation was drilled wide when Carnwath really should have made the keeper work.
FULL TIME: 2-0
