Alfie Stewart Stunner Sinks Saints
Group F's top two clashed at the Caledonian Stadium with the hosts new signing, Miller Keir on the bench as was defender Kerr Smith. Morgan Bates was missing, presumed injured. St Johnstone had former Caley Jags players Reece McAlear and Logan Chalmers on the bench but former defender Morgan Boyes was handed a start.
An Alfie Stewart forty yarder was the difference between the sides as Inverness hit the top of Group F
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inverness opened the scoring with a stunning forty yard shot when Alfie Stewart picked the pockets of two midfielders after keeper Steward had come well out of his box to mop up a loose ball. Alfie's next move saw him float a precise ball high into the net from forty yards. Take a bow wee Alfie. Terrific strike, terrific vision. We looked dangerous going forward with Sole and Bavidge using their pace to good effect. Bavidge was unfortunate to see his shot blocked just before the interval as he burst into the box on the inside right position. Perth called up the cavalry around the hour mark but Inverness also looked dangerous on numerous sorties forward. On one of these ventures, Calum Macleod brought out a good low save from the keeper at full stretch as he offloaded an angled shot across the box. A late flurry saw Sam Stanton skim the top of the bar with a powerful strike and a superb Josh Fowler header hit the bar with two minutes left, but it was Inverness that took the three points to top the Group F.
East Fife beat the Rose 3-1 tonight to leap frog St Johnstone into second place.
Overall, this was a thoroughly deserved win for the Caley Jags
