Ross County 5 Cowdenbeath 0 County boss Neale Cooper gave his men pelters all last week--and they took it out on the Fifers. Cooper Admitted: "Although we were top of the league last week, I felt we hadn't been playing as well as we can. "I spoke to the players through the week about their responsibilities and today was a lot better." Derek Adams goy County off to a flyer with a second-minute goal and Billy Herd and Steve Ferguson made it 3-0 before the break. Beath's Martin Humphreys scored an og in the 66th minute and the Fifers' misery was complete when a Kenny Gilbert free kick deflected into the net off Mark Haro's backside. |
