Peterhead 7  Cowdenbeath FC 0

Our four game unbeaten run came to a shuddering halt at a blustery Balmoor Stadium last Saturday.

We made a decent start to the game and in the first minute Gordon Smith forced a good save from Graeme Smith after the keeper made a hash of a clearance.

Peterhead came into the picture and Brown fired just wide before McAllister brought out a fine save from Sneddon.

 

And in the 16th minute they took the lead. McAllister sent a nice ball over and the visiting defence was posted missing as Leighton McINTOSH powered his header past Sneddon.

 

Sixty seconds later it was 2-0. McIntosh was the provider this time and Jordan BROWN was well placed to shoot low into the net.

 

It was all Peterhead now and McAllister’s left foot shot came back off the bar, but Spence did force a good save from Smith.

 

Then just past half hour the home side stretched their lead. McIntosh did the spadework and Jordan BROWN was given the time to shoot home.

 

Two minutes from the break we were four adrift. Noble’s pass set up Leighton McINTOSH to fire home his second goal of the afternoon.

 

The start of the second half saw us create a few chances -Smith’s shot went just wide and then Spence went close, but in 55 minutes the home side went nap.

Blockley set up Leighton McINTOSH and the striker completed his hat-trick in the semi darkness as the floodlights began to flicker.

 

Brown was a real thorn in the Blues’ side and in 59 minutes he created number six for Rory McALLISTER setting up the striker who lashed the ball past Sneddon.

 

A miserable afternoon was then completed with two minutes remaining when sub Scott FERRIES slotted home a seventh goal to give the Blue Toon their biggest win since 2008 when they beat Berwick 9-2.
