Albion Rovers FC 1 : 0 Forfar Athletic - Love is all Albion need
Posted Saturday, August 13, 2011 by PA
Robert Love snatched a late winner to give Albion a 1-0 win over Forfar.
Both sides were looking for an upturn in fortunes after the Wee Rovers were thrashed 6-2 by Arbroath last week and Forfar suffered a 5-0 demolition at the hands of Morton in Tuesday's Ramsdens Challenge Cup encounter.
There were plenty of chances at the Cliftonhill Stadium but neither side could take advantage in the first-half.
James Gilmartin nodded an early effort over the bar for the hosts and Loons' Kevin Motion hit a tame shot wide.
Ciaran Donnelly and Andrew Scott both headed over as Albion continued to pose problems in the air.
In the second-half, Scott skewed a close-range drive wide and Gilmartin was again off target with a header.
Albion goalkeeper David Crawford then parried Christopher Templeman's goalward prod in the 83rd minute before substitute Love finally broke the deadlock six minutes later by slotting in Larry Acqua's cross.
