In conditions I'm not sure even the proverbial duck would
have relished the Harmsworth Park faithful were treated to what was surely their
team's best performance of the season.
Academy took the game to Inverurie from the whistle - with Jack
Henry breaking into the 18 yard box as early as the 3rd minute. Fortunately for Locos, Greg Mitchell was on
hand to avert the danger. 5 minutes
later Gordy MacNab had his first sight of goal after a one two with Marc Macgregor but his shot flew
high over the bar. Ten minutes in and
Inverurie went close when a cross in from the left found Neil Gaul near the
corner of the 6 yard box, Grant Steven was alert to the danger and did enough to
ensure Gauld's shot hit the side netting.
Academy's next move was more productive - after a strong run
down the left, Marc MacGregor's pass found Gordy MacNab, he in turn found
Richard Macadie who unleashed a shot from just inside the 18 yard box, forcing the Locos
keeper to save at full stretch. Up the
field and the Academy fans must have had hearts in mouths when a cross in from the
left squirmed out the hands of Wick keeper Sean McCarthy dropping almost on the
goal line - McCarthy recovered quickly and smothered the ball before any Loco
players could react.
End to end stuff and a minute later Wick were back on the
attack - A Davie Allan drive through the middle and a pass laid on to Gordy MacNab, MacNab's
shot deflecting off the outstretched leg of Jamie Michie passed the keeper but
out for a corner. Academy thought they
had taken the lead from the resulting corner, but Davie Allan was adjudged to
have bundled both ball and keeper into the net at the far post.
A foul by Jamie Michie on Marc Macgregor gave Wick their
next chance: Andrew Hardwick producing a
powerful header from Sam Mackay's fizzing free kick but once again Andrew Reid,
at full stretch, managed to turn the ball away.
