Alloa’s second team really came of age over at Glensburgh last Saturday, where they pushed a very strong home team right to the final whistle. Grangemouth scored first, however a Lee Cairney penalty brought the half time score to 5-3 in favour of Grangemouth.
Alloa had a number of chances to win the match in the second period, however a lack of support at the final pass was to prove crucial. Grangemouth scored a second try, however Alloa were still within a score right to the death when the home side scored their third and final try with the last play of the match.
This was a fantastic performance from the young Alloa side who tackled and competed magnificently all day. The spirit and discipline shown is exactly what is needed to keep the Alloa club moving forward.
Thanks go to the Grangemouth club for a tough game and their post match hospitality.
The 2nd xv are at home this Saturday when they entertain Glenrothes – kick-off 3pm.
