We had the wind at our backs shooting down the railway end  and after early exchanges it was Wick who had the first opportunity when Cunningham fed Richard Macadie who shot was pushed over the bar for a corner by keeper Hastie.

Kevin Fraser then had a great chance to open the scoring when Davidson fed him through but his lob beat keeper bokas but also the bar.

Gordie Morrison tested keeper Bokas who blocked the ball with his legs for a corner from which we scored, Alan Pollock crossed it in and Steven Macdonald rose high to head past keeper Bokas to put us one up.

Wick came close to an equliser when a free kick was fed to Sam Mackay who's shot was blocked by the legs of Hastie and the ball was then scrambled clear by the Clach defence.

Wick got an equaliser on 38 minutes when Cunningham flicked a Farquhar free kick onto David Allan who controled it first time before volleying the ball past keeper Hastie.

Keeper Hastie almost got his name on the score sheet when a wind assisted kick out bounced at it took Bokas at full stretch to push it over for a corner

The early exchanges are even with neither team taking control of the game before midway through the second half Gordie Morrison has a great run down the wing before finding Kyle Maclean but Campbell came over to block just as he was going to shoot.

Then on 77 minutes we take the lead a corner from the right is met by Colin Williamson and his header beat keeper Bokas and finds the corner of the net.

The game heats up now and both Shearer and Macdonald go into the book, We look to be in control now but Wick come forward in the closing stages in search of an equaliser and we start to give away silly fouls of which one from the edge of the box finds three Clach players rush out the ball striking Macdonald who finds himself in the box for the second time for encroaching and is then shown the red card.

Then deep into injury time Wick grab an equaliser when  Throw in from the right reaches Shearer who's cross into the box is met by the head of David Allan who finds the corner of the net.

Theres just time to kick off before the referee blows for time up
