Normandy Star 5 FC Annan 2

Normandy hosted FC Annan looking to get back on track after 3 straight defeats, but the visitors were off the back of a battling draw last weekend and looking to go one better. Normandy started on the front foot and ten minutes in it took a spectacular double save from the Annan keeper to prevent the opening goal, but a couple of minutes later a shot from Ben took a deflection on it's way into the net. Normandy looked to be cruising and were creating a string of chances but on twenty minutes a speculative shot was pushed round the post by Rab and Annan leveled with a header from the resultant corner. This gave the visitors a lift and they got more into the game. A quickfire start to the second half saw Ian play in Harper and his shot had enough power to beat the keeper. On 54 minutes an electric break by Scott down the left and a pass into Ben who played into the path of Ian for the third. Again Normandy spurned several chances to extend their before Annan set up a tense last 20 with a shot which came back off the bar but their striker was first to react to prod home. Seven minutes later though Darren played a crossfield pass to Harper to restore the cushion and five minutes from time Dean hit a shot from outside the box which the keeper saved but Scott got onto the loose ball to tie up the win.
