Stow travelled to Innerleithen minus three of their strikers for this game and paid the penalty for missed chances. Following last weeks abandoned match the pitch was always going to be heavy both both teams at least tried to keep the ball moving. unfortunately the referee was not allowing for the surface and awarded numerous free kicks. Hastie put the home side into the lead when he pounced to slot home from 3 yards when Scott was unable to hold a shot from Brunton. Stow created several chances and youngster James Kerr showed up well on the left, but they were unable to convert any with Leithen managing to somehow clear their lines. With time running out and Stow pressing for an equaliser Mair was unmarked at the back post and he had the simplest of tap ins following the breakdown of a Stow attack. Just on the full time whistle the referee judged that Hastie was fouled in the box by Smith, substitute Fleming scored from the spot. |
