City up to third after win
Posted Tuesday, March 09, 2010 by PA
Brechin leapfrogged Stirling and into third place in the Second Division as they beat their promotion rivals 1-0.
Mark Docherty's first-half strike was enough to give the hosts the spoils as they extended their unbeaten league run to seven games.
Both sides tried to open the scoring with long-range efforts early on and it was the Hedgemen who succeeded when they took the lead after Docherty's fantastic 20-yard shot sailed past Stirling's Myles Hogarth and into the top corner.
Scott Robertson nearly levelled for Stirling, but his header from Chris Aitken's corner went over the crossbar.
In a second half of few clear-cut chances, Kevin Byers could have doubled Brechin's advantage in the 46th minute but his effort from the edge of the area missed the target.
