A Son of the Rock

SPFL Tier 4, Borough Briggs, SPFL Tier 4, 29/4/23.

Another ground new to me ticked off the list.

But the game was turgid end-of-season stuff.

We had nothing to play for. Given they needed a result I was surprised Elgin were so lacklustre throughout though. Before their last minute winner (another header from a set-piece, this is getting to be a habit) they only troubled Harry Broun in goal twice; once after Martin McNiff got himself into a fankle and let in – of all people – Kane Hester, Broun saved with his foot, and another from a long range shot which Broun had to dive full length to push away.

Not that we gave their keeper much bother- a Ryan Blair shot in the first half stung his palms, Finlay Gray forced him into a diving save late on – but earlier Ally Love could perhaps have kept his lob down a bit more.

That late goal, after an unnecessarily conceded free kick, deprived us of another clean sheet. It sent them and their fans into delirium though.

I hope we’re keeping our powder dry for the play-offs.
