Hall Russell's United v Culter Culter swamped Hall Russell's United at Denmore on Tuesday 16"' August. The highlight being four goals for Roddy Cameron. The visitors got off to a flier when Greig combined with Cameron to set up Christie who finished with aplomb. With barely 11 minutes on the dock Stewart made it two when he pounced on a Cameron blocked effort to thrash the ball home. Culter kept up the relentless pressure but had to wait until the 28th minute before increasing their tally just after Robertson had sent a pile driver flashing over. McRitchie made the chance for Cameron who rounded the keeper to slip the ball home. Hall's won their 15t comer in the 315t minute but were punished a minute later when Glass driving in from the left sent an unstoppable volley high into the net. Culter went nap in the 3e minute when a right foot Greig hook was met by Rattray who headed home. Cameron almost notched his second as the pressure became relentless but his lob hit the roof of the net. Culter continued where they left off when a McRitchie pass was missed by Cameron and struck the inrushing Robertson but the ball flew over the top. With only 4 minutes of the second period gone Culter went further ahead when Cameron chased down a long ball before rounding the keeper and sliding the ball home. Halls were given a consolation when Glass was adjudged to have upended Rennie in the box and Forbes stepped up to send Pirie the wrong way. Culter went further ahead in the 65"' minute when McRitchie sent in a perfect cross for Cameron who headed home with ease. Smith came on for Robertson and then Culter sent on Thain for Christie before Rattray got his second when he thrashed the ball home at the back post from a Stewa.rt comer. New signing Sim came on for his debut replacing Glass but it was McRitchie who almost scored but Fraser pulled off a first class save. Cameron then had a chance headed off the line before Sim had an effort blocked. The scoring was complete in tF1e 39t' minute when Cameron raced through to challenge the keeper and the ball spun into the empty net. Culter: Pirie, Greig, Allan, Christie, Rattray, Robertson, Stewart, Cameron, McRitchie, Craik, Glass. Subs: Smith, Thain, Collie, Sim, R. Milne Culter v Formartine United Formartine were the first to attack but Reid headed wide before Glass crossed at the other end but Christie took the ball well. McRitchie then had a chance from a Cameron pass but Christie denied him. Culter appeared to be getting into their stride early on and a Cameron cross was scrambled away at the second attempt. The game was being played at a frantic pace and Binnie should have opened the scoring from a comer but headed wide. Formartine took the lead in the 28th minute when Culter conceded a free kick wide right and when the ball was swung in Allan's attempt at a headed clearance fell to Reid and he headed home from an unmarked position. Culter almost got back on level terms 7 minutes later when Cameron sprung McRitchie but the burly striker could not get the ball past Christie. Two minutes later the Culter defence were caught napping when Cormie stole in to make it two nil for the visitors. Culter were thrown a life line just before the interval when Cameron was upended in the box by Christie, who was lucky to escape with a yellow, but McRitchie failed to convert the spot kick. The home side looked to have pulled one back within half a minute of the restart but the assistant Referee flagged the frustrated Cameron for allegedly being offside. Culter kept on plugging and almost pulled one back when a Glass free kick was met by Rattray but the ball flew over. United had a great chance to seal the game 16 minutes into the half but Reid missed a sitter. Stewart was introduced for Glass as Culter strived to get something but there was uproar moments later when McRitchie was subbed for Scott. With Scott already on the pitch McRitchie was red carded for remarks supposedly aimed at ref S. George and to the astonishment of all Scott was asked to leave the field of play. Manager Gray was then sent from the technical area as the match threatened to turn into a farce. The game was over as a contest moments later when sub Findlay snuck in behind the defence to prod the ball behind the unguarded Pirie. In a desperate attempt Culter finally introduced Scott for Farmer and Smith for Robertson and although they camped in the United half only Greig came dose when his header from a Stewart comer was cleared off the line. Culter: Pirie, Greig, Allan, Christie, Rattray, Robertson, Glass, Cameron, McRitchie, Craik, Farmer. Subs: Smith, Scott, Ord, Stewart, Sim
