Roselea: Easton, P Taylor, Whyte, Reoch, Cruickshank, Rae, Anderson, Riach, Fletcher, Collier & Watson. Subs: Allan, Milne, Ross, Kennedy & Urquhart.

Roselea started the match with a fairly stiff breeze at their backs as they shot towards St Cyrus. Roselea as expected started on the front foot and created a chance in 4 minutes when Riach played Collier in and after he rounded the keeper he saw his shot cleared off the line by Conway. It was not long until the home side took the lead and they did so two minutes later. Riach played a great ball over the top and a well timed run by RAE saw him in space and he lifted the ball over the advancing Mackie and into the net from 16 yards. 

Cruickshank had a firm shot from 25 yards out in 15 minutes but Mackie was well positioned and held well. Fletcher then just failed to connect with a deep Watson cross as the home side piled the pressure on. 

Roselea doubled their lead in 19 minutes when Calum WATSON claimed a slight touch on a Cruickshank inswinging corner with the keeper unable to connect. 

Roselea had a flurry of chances a minute later when Whyte had a header saved, followed by Collier being thwarted by Mackie again then Guthrie almost out the ball past his own keeper. 

Roselea go four up in 24 minutes with a great goal from a free kick. Calum Watson was fouled around 30 yards out and FLETCHER stepped up and sent a great curling ball into the top corner with Mackie struggling to get near to the ball.  

Collier was not getting things his own way and once again a chance passed him by when he cut inside onto a good position but couldn’t get enough power to beat Mackie at the near post. COLLIER was finally rewarded for his hard work when he finished better from an Anderson cut back in 41 minutes. 

Scrimegour of Coupar Angus was booked for a crude foul on Riach as the half drew to a close. 

Half Time Roselea 4 Coupar Angus 0  

Roselea made two changes at the half time break with Fletcher & Reoch being replaced by Kennedy & Allan.  

Roselea took some time to get going and it wasn’t until the 55^th minute that normal service resumed. Collier again looked to have done everything correct but with Mackie already on the deck to save his shot he couldn’t find a way past him and the keeper saved. Roselea then managed to miss a host of chances with several players passing up easy goal scoring opportunities. 

Roselea made an enforced change when an injury to Paul Taylor saw Chris Milne making a return to the fold in 68 minutes. 

Roselea were totally dominating and CRUICKSHANK added to the tally in 69 minutes with goal number 5 having missed a one on one chance seconds before. He picked up a Riach cross which was dummied by Watson and took a touch to steady himself before drilling home. 

ANDERSON made it six for Roselea in 70 minutes when he prodded home a corner which Mackie came to collect and dropped at the midfielder’s feet. 

Roselea were going nap and RAE added to the tally when he picked up a through ball from Riach and danced his way into the box before slotting home in 76 minutes. 

In 83 minutes WATSON grabbed his second of the day when he ran in with Coupar Angus appealing for offside and drilled a low shot into the corner of the net.

WATSON then completed his hatrick in the final minute with the Coupar Angus side happy to hear the referee blow for full time.
