Substitutes:- Wight, Heenan (for McAulay), Mercer (39 for Crawford), Kirk (for C McGlashan), Steele

Highlights:- playing against the wind on a heavy pitch in the first half we appeared to be playing a 5-3-2 formation with Webster playing at the back alongside Rowe, Thomson, Crawford and McInally. Montrose had most o the first half play but failed to cause any problems apart from one attack when they rattled our crossbar. Mercer replaced the injured Crawford and we reverted to a 4-4-2 formation prior to Mallan forcing the home keeper to pull off a great save just before half time.
We applied the pressure at the start of the second half and it paid off when a Cunningham shot was blocked and Mercer picked up the rebound and hammered it home. Heenan replaced the injured McAulay and we changed to a 4-3-3 formation. Late on Stevie Kirk replaced Colin McGlashan but there was no more scoring.
