The Highlanders were a bit shell - shocked with the Dobmeisters 2 goals in the opening minutes but stuck to the task and actually looked a decent team bringing it back to 2 -1. Sir Stephen then passed up the chance for another hat - trick by
laying the ball on a plate for Dykes to score from very close range. All in all although 3 - 1 up the game was a bit flat and with less than 900 home fans in attendance there was little atmosphere. The second half was better and but for Dykes with a missed tap - in and Dobbie wildly shooting over the bar the score could have been more. Queens also hit the woodwork twice. The 4th goal was a thing of beauty though Mercer cutting in from the right and thundering a great
strike home. Partick Whistle will be a tougher opponent I would expect but Formantine deserved the applause they
received from the home fans in the main stand at the end of the game.
