Abandoned

Match abandoned after 80 minutes
 

Culter looked to have lost comprehensively against Glentanar at Woodside Sports Complex. With 80 minutes on the clock Robb of Glens and substitute Culter keeper Russell Milne challenged for a fifty fifty ball in the box and unfortunately Russell suffered a bad leg break. Referee Nicholson immediately stopped the match but kept both sides waiting for what seemed like an eternity before eventually halting proceedings due to the lack of an ambulance to take the ill-fated stand in keeper to hospital. At the time Culter were 3-0 down and looked to be out of it but the score at the time did not reflect the true story of the match and both teams will have to do it all again at a later date.

The first half was a fairly even affair with Culter perhaps having the best of the chances but it was the home side who took the lead in the 42nd minute when McAllister side footed home a Bartlett cross with the Culter defence sleeping.

At the start of the second period Culter had the wind against them but still looked likely to do something until a shocking lapse from the assistant referee let Pirie of Glens clean through when clearly a considerable distance offside. In his attempt to round the Culter keeper, Ivor Pirie, the Culter custodian brought down the striker and was sent off in the 57th minute. Milne stepped in between the sticks for the visitors but was powerless to stop A. Campbell's spot kick. Glen's looked to be coasting 75th minute when Sheriffs sprang the offside trap and slid the ball under the substitute keeper.

We wish Russell a complete and speedy recovery.
