ACADEMY made heavy weather on their return game with Turra but ground out the result, at Harmsworth Park. The visitors were obviously a more experienced side than the Brora outfit the Scorries demolished earlier in the week. With United down to 10 men following a dramatic touchline incident, in the first half, which saw Cammy Bowden stroll for an early shower, Academy should have been set to capitialise on the numerical advantage. It wasn’t until early in the second half, however, before Wick secured their opener, the in-form, Gary Weir nodding in a Macadie cross. The visitors evened things up with a giveaway goal after Grant Steven misjudged a back-pass, allowing Gary Harris to nip in and waltz round Gray for the equaliser. Chances went abegging at both ends and Academy had one or two scares before leaving the field as victors after claiming the decider, courtesy of Richard Macadie.
