| Comments | Match Report Report from the Press & Journal. Keith 2 Ross County 2 Ross County's defensive keystone, Johnston Bellshaw, will miss tomorrow night's Press and Journal Highland League game against Fort William in Dingwall. The big fellow was taken off just before half-time during Saturday's pulsating 2-2 Qualifying Cup second-round draw with Keith at Kynoch Park with a groin injury which could also see him miss this weekend's replay. In a thrilling tie which could have gone either way, Ally BREBNER stole the glory with superb volleyed goals for the Maroons which twice pegged County back after they had gone in front. The wee man lashed a John Wilson cross past Hutchison on the half-hour to cancel out Gordon CONNELLY's 22nd-minute opener for County and he repeated the dose in 70 minutes after Andy McLEOD had again given the visitors the edge. Keith went close to grabbing a winner in the closing minutes and a header from Sandy MacLeod, who came off the bench to replace Bellshaw, hit the woodwork in the last minute as the excitement lasted right down to the final whistle. County manager Bobby Wilson said: "Ally Brebner scored two goals which came right out of the top drawer to set up what should be a tremendous replay this weekend at Victoria Park. "Keith played well and they will come to Dingwall fancying their chances, but I wonder whether they can play much better than they did on Saturday." |
