Alford 1 - 6 Cowie Thistle
Cowie returned to winning ways in the league with a dominant performance away in Alford today.
Having gone close in the first minute, CRAN opened the scoring after 3 minutes when TJs shot from edge of the box fell to him and he finished across the keeper.
It was 2-0 after 10 minutes after good hold up play by Shaun, he laid it off to BUCK and he finished with his right foot low past the keeper from the edge of the box.
Cowie continued to create chances as Alford offered very little going forward and after half an hour it was 3-0 when Salmond won the ball in midfield and his header put McDONALD through and he lobbed the keeper with ease.
Alford pulled a goal back just before half time when a free kick was well saved by Stu but an Alford attacker followed up the rebound
Cowie started 2nd half quickly again and made it 4-1, Salmond setting up BUCK who again finished past the keeper with his right.
Cowie got their 5th on the hour when Bucks free kick was met at the near post by McDONALD and he glanced his header past the keeper for his 30th of the season.
Cowie brought on all 5 subs to keep things fresh with the amount of games coming up and created some more good chances and the scoring was rounded off in the 88th minute when IRV collected the ball on the halfway line, destroyed the defender for pace and finished past the keeper.
An excellent performance and a good 3 points but most importantly everyone shook hands after the game like nice friendly gentlemen ??????
