Mowi National Division

-

Fort William top the National Division after defeating Oban Celtic 5-1 at An Aird.

Fort William looked pacey up front and Lewis Morrison finished off a good move to give them the lead on 12 minutes.

The visitors lost defender Calum MacLeod, who had been suffering from a chest infection, and suffered a further blow when a disputed freehit was played forward and Lewis Clark made it 2-0 with 23 minutes on the clock.

When Oban Celtic keeper David Martin made a save with his foot by his right post on 57 minutes, referee Martin MacLean signalled for a 'kick' and awarded Fort William a penalty which Arran MacPhee converted.

Fort William now had a grip of the midfield and Arran MacPhee got his second and Fort William's fourth on 72 minutes before Padraig McNeil knocked home a re-bound four minutes later after keeper Martin had made another good save.

Oban Celtic introduced 16-yearold substitute Jamie Forgrieve at half forward for the final 20 minutes of the match and he set up Oban Celtic’s goal a couple of minutes from time. Forgrieve burst down the right before cutting inside when his ball into the goal area was diverted into the net by Daniel MacMillan.

The win means Fort William have scored ten goals from their opening two league fixtures ahead of this week’s trip to Bute. Fort William 5 Oban Celtic 1
