Billy another match report in our battle against relegation.
Cupar Eagles were in buoyant mood approaching their match v Anthropos with an unprecidented two wins on the spin following back to back wins in the league in our resilient battle to avoid relegation.
Out was Syme due to work commitments but Hood returned to the subs bench from his self imposed break. It was a tentative start from both teams but Eagles made the breakthrough from Halley who charged into the box before unleashing a shot low into the left hand bottom corner. The lead however was short lived as the visitors capitalised on poor defending to level the match before racing into a 2-1 scoreline at half-time.
Eagles pushed forward into the second half and were nearly awarded when Bauchope hit the upright of the bar. With gaps now appearing at the back the Cupar side were then picked off, soon it was 3 and then 4-1. With their never say die attitude the Eagles fought back with Halley finding the top corner after interlinking play from Marshall. Another Halley strike followed after Bauchope put him through on goal where the ball was confidently despatched over the keeper. Time ran out unfortunately and the points were lost. With one remaining fixure the relegation issue goes straight to the wire.
