DALRY THISTLE 2
ANNBANK UNITED 2
AN INJURY-time goal denied Annbank all three points at Merksworth Park.
Annbank got off to the worst possible start when a long ball into the penalty area saw Craig Fisher head the ball over the trialist keeper and Chris McGowan jnr had an open goal to shoot into.
Two minutes later Annbank had a chance to draw level when David Waite crossed into the penalty area, but Roddy Paterson headed wide.
Midway through the half Colin Granger got through but he was forced wide and he shot wide.
In 43 minutes, Annbank got the equaliser with a well-worked goal - Lee Sloan played the ball into the box and Paterson cleverly controlled the ball on his chest before netting into the bottom corner.
Six minutes after the interval Bankies took the lead, MacLean Simpson heading into the net at the back post.
In injury-time a free-kick was played into the box by Dalry and the Annbank
keeper turned the ball over the bar. From the resultant corner-kick, Chris McGowan snr headed the ball into the net.
Dalry almost won the match a minute later but a shot rebounded from the post.
