St Monans Swallows 1-2 Glenrothes

Conner Horsburgh played his part in Swallows' opener.

Early play was fairly even until the 29th minute when a Conner Horsburgh corner from the right held up in the wind.

The away defence tried to clear but the ball flew off a defender’s boot high into the net to put St Monans in front.

This could have been doubled when Wishart broke free on the right but his shot from a slight angle sailed over the bar.

Swallows held this lead until the interval.

The second half was to be a totally different proposition as the wind increased to nearly gale force giving Glenrothes a huge lift.

Swallows defended stoutly for the majority of the second period until eventually the ball was driven from outside the box passed keeper McGhie to level up the score.

Any kind of football was now proving to be impossible as Swallows could scarcely get the ball out of their own penalty box such was the strength of the wind.

Just as the game looked to be heading for a draw Glenrothes snatched the winner in the 87th minute.

Another fierce drive aided by the wind found its way into the home net.
