Fifers Swamped in Second Half Blitz
The rain arrived just in time for kick-off in the Highlands after a few days of late Summer sun. The fifers were in no mood to be turned over by an on form Inverness and made life difficult for their hosts. However, David Wotherspoon headed the Caley Jags in front after seventeen minutes. Nathan Austin levelled just before the interval but Wotherspoon scored his second after an hour and a deflected effort by Alfie Stewart added a third. 99 bonk as Alfie Bavidge completed the scoring in the 99th minute. That win put Inverness top of the table for now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Plenty of posturing in the opening minutes as both teams tried to suss out their opponents. A Brian Easton header from the centre of the box was saved by Ross Munro in the thirteenth minute but five minutes later Inverness took the lead when David Wotherspoon scored with a looping header. Alfie Stewart tried his luck with a header of his own bur Ruairidh Adams gathered it comfortably. Dick Campbell's side were making it difficult for the hosts to create clear opportunities and Spoony shot wide on the half hour. Danny Devine headed wide with chances at a premium. Former Caley Jags striker Nathan Austin squared matters just before half time when he rose high to send a header into the net off Ewan McLeod's looping cross into the six yard box to stun the home crowd.
HALF TIME: 1-1
Bustling striker Tommy Goss replaced Lewis Latona at the interval for the visitors but it was the hosts that came out like a scalded cat, creating a number of half chances over the next fifteen minutes. Zimba and Bah were both substituted after a clash of heads before the hour, Bah on a stretcher, Zimba still on his feet. Wotherspoon restored our advantage firing high into the net and minutes later a deflected strike from Alfie Stewart took the ball behind Adams to increase our lead. Inverness had turned the screw since the interval and were flooding forward and getting their rewards for it. Deep into stoppage time Alfie Bavidge added a fourth in the 99th minute.
