7th September 2010

Arbroath 1-0 Queen's Park

A late headed goal from Gavin Swankie was enough to edge out Queen's Park and move Arbroath up to second place in Division Three.

Swankie almost opened the scoring after 40 minutes but his volley was kept out by visiting goalkeeper Adam Strain.

Queen's Park missed a great chance when James Brough failed to hit the target with a volley from 12 yards out.

And the deadlock was broken 13 minutes from time as a Paul Sheerin free kick was guided home by Swankie.
