Academy face their 5th away game on the spin today, visiting Fraserburgh at the Broch. Based on the last 6 games played Academy have had the slightly better run of form having won 3, drawn 2 and lost 1. Fraserburgh have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2. This is expected to be a very tough game.
It's a dull over-cast day in Fraserburgh and the game has just kicked off.
Academy open with some confidence with good touches by Macadie
and Shearer in the centre circle. Shearer
fired the ball up-field ahead of Ross Allan who was over-lapping on the wing
but he was stopped by a firm tackle from Bryan Hay.
Fraserburgh have a good triangular passing move on left but
Grant Steven stepped in and closed off the danger.
Academy open the scoring in the 6th minute. Sam Mackay played an exquisite pass down the middle of the park that split the
Broch defence. Davie Allan sprinted onto it and collided with keeper Leask, but
Allan was the first to his feet and tapped in the loose ball from 6 yards out.
0 - 1
Academy almost grab a second but Cunningham is disappointed as
his shot is blocked.
Fraserburgh are creating chances and Graham Johnston broke
into the Academy box but Michael Steven was alert to the danger and nicked the
ball off his toes for the expense of a corner. That was fired in but Gray came
and fisted the ball away confidently at his back post.
In the next attack Fraserburgh win a free kick about 25
yards from goal. Dean Cowie struck a tricky swerving effort on target but Gray
came and collected under pressure from the Broch front line.
Academy have a great chance to double their lead with about
20 minutes played. Manson broke into the box on the left with ball at feet.
Keeper Leask came to meet him but Manson got around him and slipped the ball
square to Davie Allan but his shot was blocked on the line by last ditch
Fraserburgh defending.
Michael Gray is having a commanding half as he fisted away a
Broch corner from under his cross-bar.
He's called into action again minutes later as Willie West
drove forward on the left flank and crossed to Barbour, but his shot went
straight to Gray who made a comfortable save.
