Match report
Arbroath were the ‘first footers’ that graced the newly laid carpet at the Vanloq Community Stadium for our opening tie. With several players still unavailable, there was an unfamiliar look to the team. The line-up was: Martin, Heal, Trialist A, McKay, Drysdale. Dishington Welsh, Craigen, Ross. Whyte, Walls. Subs Carswell, Trialist B, Chisholm, Fitzsimmons, Wylie, Mulholland, Stowe. There was an early re-shuffle after Trialist A was injured in the first minute and was replaced by Trialist B.

Arbroath were the ‘first footers’ that graced the newly laid carpet at the Vanloq Community Stadium for our opening tie. With several players still unavailable, there was an unfamiliar look to the team. The line-up was:
Martin, Heal, Trialist A, McKay, Drysdale. Dishington Welsh, Craigen, Ross. Whyte, Walls. Subs Carswell, Trialist B, Chisholm, Fitzsimmons, Wylie, Mulholland, Stowe.
There was an early re-shuffle after Trialist A was injured in the first minute and was replaced by Trialist B. The rest of the first half was fairly even but 5 minutes before half time Arbroath took the lead when Andy Winter hit shot from outside the box past Paddy Martin.
In the second half Brad Whyte equalised for Spartans after 55 minutes following a bit of Spartans pressure. There were also appearances off the bench for Stowe, Fitzsimmons, Chisholm and Wylie.
The match looked to be heading for a bonus point shoot-out, before Ryan Flynn sent his shot just inside the post to win the game for the visitors.
