    Inverness -V- Brechin - Report

    Stroll for Inverness

     

    League whipping boys Brechin City were comfortably beaten by an Inverness side who went about their business and left Brechin winless after 31 league games, a statistic that will see them ply their trade in the next division down next season. Two goals in each half were sufficient to end the contest with Joe Chalmers bagging a brace and Coll Donaldson and George Oakley completing the scoring.

    A miserable night saw Inverness dominate proceedings and made all the early running. It took until the twelfth minute for Joe Chalmers to benefit from a Liam Polworth ball into the box to tap in the opener.

    Ten minutes later and Chalmers set up Coll Donaldson to knock in number two.

    Isaac Layne broke the monopoly and fired a warning shot just wide as Brechin tried to hit back immediately.

    Liam Polworth had a couple of attempts near the break but no further scoring despite our dominance.

    Half Time 2-0

    Donaldson had a header blocked just after the interval as the game continued in our favour and George Oakley went close with a header of his own.

    The third goal arrived just before the hour and it was Chalmers who notched his second of the night with a driven left footed shot into the bottom right and that was game over.

    Eight minutes later the scoring ended when Oakley finished a good move by stroking in Connor Bell's pass.

    One downside was an injury sustained by Donaldson on the heavy pitch and he was replaced by Gary Warren with twenty-two minutes to go. 

    Fair play to City who had a mini revival and Layne made Ridgers work before half-time substitute Euan Spark fired one just wide.

    Nathan Austin and Connor Bell both had a couple of close calls and Layne brought out another save from Ridgers, but the result was never in doubt.

    I hope Coll Donaldson was a precautionary substitution as he will be an important player in the final seven games.

    Good win  for Inverness who were best served by two goal Joe Chalmers with Riccardo Calder not far behind. Liam Polworth put in a good shift as well.
