Gordie Morrison struck two second half goals as we came from behind to beat league new boys Turriff.
We got off to the worst possible start when a corner from the right wasn't cleared properly and the ball was thrown back into the box where Leigh Henderson reacted first to knock the ball home.
Clach keeper Harrison was called into action 10 minutes later when Cammy Bowden tested him from the edge of the boxbut he saved low down to his left.
We started to get into the game more and a Stuart Leslie cross was half cleared and it fell to Alan Pollock who's shot was well held by keeper Fyfe.
Leslie was next to test Fyfe but his shot from the edge of the box was easily saved by the keeper.
We were looking the more likely as the game progressed and so it turned out when a Leslie ball into the box was half cleared by a Turriff defender and the ball fell perfectly to Kyle Mclean who shot high into the net.
Three minutes later we took the lead when an Alan Pollock shot took a deflection of the head of a Turriff defender sending keeper Fyfe the wrong way to give us an interval lead.
