SPFL Tier 4, The Rock, 06/05/23.
So, the final league game of the season.
Like last week at Elgin it was a turgid affair. Both sides had nothing to play for and our players looked like they were not exerting themselves too much; saving themselves for the play-offs.
That concern was reflected in the line-up, with an unusual look to the back line, Aron Lynas alongside Peter Grant at centre half, Harry Broun again in goal and Luca Vata given his first start in midfield. He stayed on for the whole game, didn’t disgrace himself but probably needs to bulk up a bit before becoming anything like a regular.
Neither side created much early on but Finlay Grey had two strong drives which the keeper had to beat away.
Their goal was a joke. Aron Lynas just got his head to a cross but miscued it against the post and the rebound bounced in off Peter Grant.
A few minutes later Edin Lynch got up at the back post from a corner and powered it home for the equaliser.
In the second half Ally Love had two decent attempts at goal, an attempted flick over the keeper just caught his fingertips but the ball was going in until a defender swept it off the line. Then Love’s header from a great Martin McNiff cross beat the keeper but was headed over the bar by a defender. (Love’s header may have been missing the goal though.)
It’s on to the serious end of season stuff now. Away to Annan on Tuesday night, before the return at the Rock on Saturday.
