Second Half Goals seal win for Development Side
[Wednesday, 28 March 2018 10:03]
Forfar Athletic’s Development team with latest signing Dean Brotherston in its ranks recorded a 2-0 win over Edusport Academy’s Under 20 side at Station Park last night.
There was little to choose between the homesters and the Glasgow based French youngsters in an evenly contested first period that was however fairly devoid of clear cut goal scoring opportunities.
In fact it was not until the final twenty minutes of the game the contest really burst into life.
On the seventy minute mark, visiting sub goalkeeper Adin Sellmovic brought off an excellent block to deny Sam Clark, but within sixty seconds the Athies finally broke the deadlock.
Brotherston was involved, his right wing cross being volleyed into the net from eight yards out by Jamie Gill, ten minutes after he had appeared from the bench.
Three of the home subs were also involved in goal number two nine minutes later. Josh Chalmers and Gill combined down the right flank to set up a scoring opportunity for Max Avolio who made no mistake from close range.
Another good run out for the home side would sum up the ninety minutes against a totally different style of opponent, as the ‘Loons’ look forward to their final two league fixtures of the season, the first of which is on April 11th
