Midway through the first half a miles offside Jamie Beagrie crossed in from the left and the ball was again cleared by Andy Martin for a corner which came to nothing, then two minutes later Fort had a good chance when Mike Gillespie was clear down the left hand side but just as he lined up his shot he was outmuscled by Dean Elrick. Fraserburgh went in search of a second and were awarded a free kick on the edge of the area after 28 minutes which Alan Hale took quickly but Richard Munro was equal to it and he saved at the foot of right hand post. They maintained the pressure and Jamie Beagrie again set free Alan Hale who rounded Richard Munro, flying out of his area, and fired his shot across goal and past the far post. They finally made it two after 38 minutes when a powerful shot by Graham Johnston from the right hand edge of the box was parried by goalkeeper Munro to Willie West who side footed home from a couple of yards.
