Both sides were looking to get back on track after losing their last outings. Inverness had Danny Devine back at the heart of the defence and with Luis Longstaff missing, Alfie Bavidge was up front with Layton Stewart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A chilled but dryish afternoon at the Caledonian SarensPSG Stadium greeted the teams as they entered the tidy playing surface. With the game underway Alfie Stewart was the first to fire goalwards in the fifth minute after mugging Michael MacKenna but his shot cleared the bar. Namesake Layton Stewart went closer as his shot bounced off the post after Alfie S fed him inside the box. Calum MacLeod was next to shoot over from a free kick as the hosts enjoyed the bulk of the possession in the opening quarter of the game. After a series of corner kicks, Liam Sole tried his luck from a the angle following the third corner with Aidan McAdams forced to tip the ball over for another corner. Alfie Bavidge was next up with McAdams saving again ten minutes before the break. With the pressure mounting before the interval Bavidge was denied once more from distance this time but a goal was imminent. It came from defender Calum MacLeod after the keeper palmed Alfie Stewart's free kick away from goal but MacLeod was quickest to react and knock home. Like buses....No sooner had we opened the scoring than Alfie Bavidge tucked in number two following a tidy move down the right after an assist from Paul Allan picked out the striker who's quick feet caught the keeper out as he drilled in from thirteen yards. Just before the break Arbroath had to replace Tom Beadling through injury with Charlie Dewar replacing him.

HALF TIME: 0-0

No changes at the break for either side and ten minutes in Shinnie had an effort blocked and five minutes later substitute Charlie Dewar brought down Layton Stewart inside the box. Not a great week for Charlie, own goal last week and penalty this week, however McAdams made the save low to his right to deny Paul Allan from the spot. He then denied Bavidge a third with a save shortly after the striker had flicked a free kick just over. Alfie Stewart's corner looks to have come off the bar with twenty minutes left. I a wee flurry at the end Junior Osong shot just wide and McKenna and Andy Winter had efforts saved in the dying embers. All over and all too easy for the Caley Jags.

FULL TIME: 2-0
