Cowie win 3-2 on penalties.
Cowie made it through to the North of Scotland semi finals for the 2nd time in 3 years with a hard fought win over Kincorth today.
Despite the wind and rain there was a decent crowd down watching and there was some good football on display as both teams went close before Cowie took the lead in the 20th minute when a cross from Fowler was headed home by A COZZY.
Cowie had the wind at their backs and went looking for another goal before half time but the Kincorth keeper made a couple of good saves to keep it to 1-0.
Kincorth started the 2nd half strong but Cowie were holding on fairly comfortably and made it 2-0 in the 60th minute when a corner from Cran found LOVICK who headed past the keeper at the near post.
Cowie then had 3 great chances to put the game out of sight but again the Kincorth keeper made some great saves, and then from a Cowie 2 on 1 attack that should’ve made it 3-0, Kincorth cleared the ball and from this a short back pass was intercepted by the Kincorth striker who finished into the bottom corner for 2-1 after 70 minutes.
Lifted by that goal 5 minutes later Kincorth got an equaliser when a through ball from midfield cut the defence open and a 50/50 between the striker and Jarvie ended up at the strikers feet and he had a simple task to make it 2-2.
After this both teams had chances to win, mainly from set pieces as the pitch began to cut up from the weather but there was no more scoring and it was straight to penalties.
As in one of the previous rounds against Nicolls, Jarvie was the hero again and saved 3 penalties, with 2 terrific saves, as Kincorth missed their 1st, 2nd and 4th penalties.
Smithy & Buck scored the 1st two Cowie penalties before McDonald & Baz missed the 3rd and 4th which left Lovick to score the 5th to win the game.
A great game of football to watch despite the conditions, which turned into a real midfield battle at times but a great team performance again to get through.
Scorers today A Causby, Lovick
MOTM - Lovick
Mon ih Cowie!
