Thorn Athletic were beaten 2-0 by Threave Rovers in the First Division at Meadow Park on Saturday, 26th September.<\/p>\n

Threave opened the scoring after 22 minutes. Charlie Cowie started the move with a throw to Alex Henderson, who found Harry Officer. He then played in Lewis Downie, who finished at the near post to put the home side 1-0 ahead.<\/p>\n

That remained the score at half-time, with Thorn saying the goal had come from a counter-attack.<\/p>\n

There were also a number of cautions during the match. Thorn reported that 10 bookings were handed out by the referee over the course of the game.<\/p>\n

Threave doubled their advantage in the 55th minute. Liam Nish sent a low cross across the six-yard box and, after Thorn goalkeeper Allan parried the ball, substitute Ross Irving was on hand to score.<\/p>\n

It was Irving’s first goal since returning to Threave Rovers.<\/p>\n

Threave goalkeeper Cowie kept a clean sheet as the home side completed a 2-0 victory.<\/p>\n

Thorn will now prepare to host Lanark in their next match.<\/p>\n
