Highland League: Cove denied by Forres keeper Knight’s heroics
The 1-1 draw left Forres two points behind leaders Cove with two games in hand. The goalkeeper complained: “I think a draw was a fair result. Me getting man of the match makes it look like Cove were the better side, but I don’t think that was the case.”
Neil Whyte’s 70th-minute volley was cancelled out soon after by Connor Scully’s impressive strike.
