UNITED COLLEGES 3, LOMOND UNITED 4

LOMOND travelled to St. Andrews for a league fixture against the students.
Fraser Thomson took over in goals and they had 16-year-old Dale Cowan on the bench alongside other new comer Ross Rankine.
Prolific marksman David Elder also returned to the squad after a two month absence but had to settle for a place on the bench.
Lomond started well and in the opening minutes and created a few chances however the homesters scored twice after poor defending.
This shocked the vistors into action.
Michael Morris hit a shot from 25 yards which sailed over the keeper's head into the net to give Lomond hope for the second half.
Lomond went all out for an early goal after the break.
Neil Cunningham saw a long range effort well saved then Drew MacLeod saw his shot come back off the post.
A goal was coming and it was centre-half Gordon Forbes who headed in the leveller from a corner.
Against the run of play the students went in front in the 92nd minute with what they thought was the winner.
The referee, who played 59 minutes in the first half, was asked how long was left and he said 2 minutes.
From kick off K.Morris launched the ball forward, a defender headed the ball back towards his keeper but sent it high past him into the net to make it 3-3.
In the final minute of a lengthy injury time period Lomond won a corner.
MacLeod sent the ball over and Lomond's top marksman of the last three seasons headed powerfully past the keeper.
D. Elder was mobbed by his team mates, as they celebrated an excellent victory.
