| Match Report | Match Report Report by Bill McAllister for the Press & Journal. Inverness Thistle 1 Ross County 0 Leishman's Lions roar on to 10 successive victories. And in the process they did a spot of serious sabotage to Ross County's TSB Highland League title chances. The flamboyant Fifer's arrival as manager has certainly inspired the Kingsmills lads and--clad in Caley blue--they did their neighbours a considerable good turn by wiping out County's game in hand at the top of the table. Only two points now separate leaders County from Caley whose visit to Jags a week on Saturday assumes added significance. The 1,700 fans saw a tremendous tussle in which Jags fully deserved to take their 100% sequence into double figures. County worked hard and staged a strong late rally, but the home side always had the edge and gained rich revenge for that 5-0 defeat at Dingwall. Jags unleashed a ferocious assault in the first 15 minutes of the second half. First Allan had to make a superb tackle to foil Clark in front of a gaping goal, then Taylor headed past the keeper only for Somerville to stop the ball on the line. Then it was Campbell's turn to make a goal line clearance, from Sutherland's shot. And, incredibly, Milroy's header from Fraser's free kick hit the post and bounced clear. But in 59 minute jags Grabbed the goal they merited, FRASER swerving a superb drive from just outside the penalty box high into the far corner of the net. The table toppers hit back and Campbell rattled the home side's post from 20 yards as County pulled out all the stops. Kevin Fraser and Alan Clark of Thistle were booked. |
