Shotts Bon Accord AFC 0 vs 3 Thorn Athletic

Due to vandalism at the Mansey Park, the fixture had to be changed to the Hawthorn park which didn't seem to benefit either team

With 9 players missing for Jamie Halfords stag do a make shift team was put together against a strong Thorn side who won the Caledonian Premier league last season.

Shotts started on the back foot and a long throw into the box was headed into his own net by Dylan Ferguson.

Thorn had majority of the early possession and played direct into the Shotts box at any opportunity.

Thorn doubled their lead when a long ball wasnt properly cleared and fell to the Thorn centre mid 25 yards from goal, where he took a touch and fired a fierce shot through a group of bodies into the corner of Jay Casserly's net.

Thorn scored their 3rd just after the half hour when a deep cross was headed back across goal by the Thorn number 9 , Jay Casserly got a weak punch on the ball that fell to the feet of the Thorn striker who tapped in the empty net.

HT - 0:3

A second half was a non event with both sides not creating many chances. A direct free kick from Thorn was well saved by Jay Casserly in the Shotts goal and good work from Mick Foy on the left created a chance that went narrowly over the bar.

FT - 0:3
