East Fife 0, Spartans 2

Posted on Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Spartans second pre-season match saw them record a 2 goal victory over last seasons SFL3 champions East Fife.

Spartans started without Jon Seeley and Dan Gerrard in defence, so Stewart Fowlie moved to centre back along with Ross Archibald, with Danny O’Donnell and Dean Hoskins filling the right and left back roles respectively.

The Fifers dominated possession in the first half but looked the more tired side in the second. The first goal came from a Robbie Manson free kick which was headed in by Ross Campbell for the game’s opener. Spartans grew into the game as time went on and Struan Preston added a second goal late on to clinch the tie.

Spartans next pre-season game takes place this Tuesday at Stirling University Campus, where they will take on Stirling University, who were recently admitted to the East of Scotland League.

Spartans: Lunn, O’Donnell, Fowlie, Hoskins, Archibald, Kader, Campbell, Manson, Walker, K McLeod, Henretty. Subs (used): Young, Preston, Burns
