St Laurence 2 Feughside 2

ST LAURENCE let a 2-0 lead slip last Wednesday and had to settle for a draw at home to Feughside.

The Saints threatened after two minutes when Manson crossed and Neil Reid had a header saved.

Three minutes later, Scott McCombie had the ball in the net, but was given offside.

Saints got their reward in 20 minutes when they took the lead. S
cott McCombie was brought down and Doug Harley scored from the spot.

In 27 minutes, Manson kept his side in front when he cleared off the line.

Early in the second half, Feughside hit the bar with a 20 yard free-kick.

In 57 minutes, Blair McCombie combined with his brother and had a shot saved.

The Saints made it 2-0 on the hour mark when Johnston set up Blair McCombie to score.

Things started to go wrong in the 70th minute when bad marking let a Feughside player score on the near post.

Seven minutes later, Feughside took a throw-in quickly and a player ran in to make it 2-2.

The Saints pushed for a winner and went close when a 22 yard volley from Harley skimmed the bar.

St Laurence: Fraser, Duncan (Greig), Manson, N. Reid, Anderson, Johnston, Harley, Borland, G. Reid, Morris (B. McCombie), S. McCombie. Subs: Jaffray, Moir.


ST LAURENCE remain in relegation trouble after they crashed 4-1 at Monymusk on Saturday.

The Saints made a bright start and Harley had a header deflected wide, then volleyed over the bar.

In ten minutes, Anderson was one on one with the keeper who managed to save.

The Laurencekirk side opened the scoring in 15 minutes when Manson crossed for Craig Morris to tap home.

In 25 minutes, a defensive mix-up let a Monymusk player in to equalise.

For some reason, the Saints failed to turn up in the second half and ended up well beaten.

After only two minutes, a cross from the left was tapped home.

In 55 minutes, a home player ran unchallenged from midfield, exchanged passes with a team mate and shot home.

Morris was denied by the keeper, then on the hour a foul by Peter Reid gave away a penalty and Monymusk took a 4-1 lead.

Saints were denied what would only have been a consolation 15 minutes from time. Borland sent over a great cross and Morris failed to score from close range.

St Laurence have two games left to get sufficient points to beat the drop. They must play Mintlaw and Bankhead, both away.

St Laurence: J. Leitch, Greig, N. Reid, Anderson, Moir (Jaffray), Johnston (Duncan), Borland, Harley (P. Reid), Manson, Morris, Fraser.
