Fifers climb off the bottom



Posted Saturday, February 12, 2011 by PA

East Fife sent Stenhousemuir to the bottom of the table with a much needed 2-0 victory.

Substitute Lloyd Young inspired his side to their first away win of the season, scoring one in the first half before turning provider to set up Robert Linn after the break.

Young was introduced after 19 minutes for the injured Steven Hislop, and his right-footed shot from inside the box gave the Fifers the advantage at the interval.

It took just three minutes of the second half for the visitors to wrap up the win, with Young laying on a simple chance for Linn to score from six yards.

The hosts' chances of staging a comeback were dashed on 63 minutes when Stephen Murray was dismissed for a late tackle of James Hamilton.

Stenhousemuir, who were 6-0 losers in the previous meeting of the two sides, replace the Fifers at the foot of the table following a run of three defeats.
