Fife Goalpost Match Report

01/05/04 Fife League Crossgates v Lochore Welfare

Pat McAuleys men made it two wins out of two with a hard fought win at Humbug Park. Neither team created many chances in what was an uneventful first 45 minutes until Welfare's centre forward, Gary Sutherland broke the deadlock with a wonder strike on 42 minutes. Standing with his back to goal 25 yards out, he received a high pass which he chested down before smashing it on the volley over the Crossgates keeper who was caught off his line.
  In the second half Primrose really turned on the pressure but the Welfare back four managed to hold on for the three points with some resolute defending. The only black spot for Lochore was the loss of midfielder Darren Wilson after 10 minutes with a hamstring problem which could rule him out for the remainder of the season.
 
Lochore team: Crowe, Bishop, R.Kinnell, Duncan, Burke, Moodie, Shankland, Hodge, Sutherland, Wilson (Jaffa), Currie. Subs not used were Grieve, Shields and Dudgeon.
