Grove comeback earns league points

Pole Team ............ 1 Strathearn Grove .. 2 efforts, got their heads down and started to play football and ultimately control the game.

They also had to retain their composure as some amateur dramatics from the home side – and some off-the-ball incidents unseen by the referee – went unpunished by the officials.

Lee Roberts put in a perfectly-placed cross from a free kick for Donald Crerar.

His initial volley was saved by the keeper but he was alert enough to slot home the rebound.

The second goal came with about 15 minutes to go when Josh Roberts played through Kros Brown to place the ball past the keeper.

Team: Ali Grant, Connor Stewart, Sean Fender, Campbell Dewar, Ross Cramb, Lee Roberts, Donald Crerar, Lee Jack, Jamie Henry, Kros Brown and Josh Roberts. Subs: Mike Welsh, Jamie McInally, Dale Robson, Scott Richards, Dave McKay.
