Peterhead 2 : 1 Stirling Albion - Peterhead pip Stirling



Posted Sunday, January 18, 2015 by PA

Peterhead came from behind to clinch a 2-1 home win over struggling Stirling.

Two goals in three second-half minutes helped turn the tide after Stirling had held a half-time advantage.

The bottom club in League One, who after this defeat remain with only two league victories this season, took a surprise lead four minutes before half-time.

They had gone close shortly before when Chris Smith's header struck a post but Craig Wedderburn found the back of the net from close range after he was set up by Scott Shepherd.

It was almost 2-0 early in the second half but Stirling were denied by a post again - this time Alex Cunningham's effort striking the woodwork.

The match turned on its head in the space of three minutes as Rory McAllister equalised from the penalty spot, after Ross McGeachie had fouled David Cox. James Stevenson's low, left-foot finished in the 75th minute then put Peterhead in front.

It was harsh on Stirling, who had goalkeeper Greg Paterson to thanks for keeping them in the game with a fine save to keep out a Cox header.
