Sorry - missed game due to illness

WHM:  well played to Arbroath reserves they played well.  I don't recall any keeper making many saves today.   Great start to the game today from Arbroath,with Stirling scoring against the run of play.Stirling then came into the game then jim weir came on and we were caught for pace for the 2nd,then a great finish for Stirling's 3rd.  

Abroath pressed start of the 2nd half with a few half chances,then got theie3 goals two from corners one from a cross,then we are hit with that sucker punch at the .h Stirling getting their goal but we somehow our's chalked off.

Legend.. After the goal, we completely collapsed and it looked all over at 3-0. Our makeshift defence weren't really up to the task.

Good recovery and it then took a fortunate deflection to hand Stirling the winner.

BBC  -  Arbroath and Stirling shared seven goals as the visitors ran out winners - robbed of a result by a poor ref (Charleston - who has a poor record in previous games)

Albion's Paul Murphy shot past Darren Hill from a corner on 22 minutes then increased the lead through O'Brien, who went on to complete his hat-trick.

Arbroath's Steven Hislop nodded home a 74th-minute corner and, two minutes later, sub Bryan Scott headed past Scott Christie to make it 3-2.

Hislop nodded in the leveller on 83 then Stirling snatched the win with a late strike from Michael Mullen after a strange free kick.
