Forfar Athletic 3 - 1 Peterhead - Swankie at the double in Forfar win

Gavin Swankie scored twice and set up the other as Forfar ran out 3-1 winners over 10-man Peterhead.

The home side came into this clash looking to recover from last weekend's defeat to Morton and they flew into the lead just after the half-hour mark with a close-range finish from Chris Templeman.

Peterhead's uphill task looked even more daunting when Rory McAllister saw red four minutes before the break for a second bookable offence, both arriving inside six minutes.

And it was no surprise when they fell two goals down in the 54th minute, Swankie firing home from inside the box.

But the 10 men rallied and set up a nervy final half an hour when Cammy Kerr netted after a pass from Steven Noble.

With seconds to go, however, Swankie netted his second of the afternoon as they won their third match in four.
