Stenhousemuir 2 - 1 Forfar Athletic: Colin McMenamin heads late winner for Stenhousemuir against Forfar



Posted Sunday, March 27, 2016 by PA

Stenhousemuir moved six points clear of opponents Forfar and eased their relegation concerns as Colin McMenamin's late header snatched a 2-1 victory.

They took the lead in the 12th minute when Mark Gilhaney curled a shot into the bottom corner.

It could have been two when Stephen Stirling's effort looked destined for the top corner, only for Darren Hill to save.

Forfar responded through a Gareth Rodger header that was parried to safety by Colin McCabe while at the other end Carlos Martinez saw a shot blocked by Hill.

The visitors came close to an equaliser after the break when Steven Craig fired straight at McCabe from close in and Danny Denholm headed wide from six yards.

Thomas O'Brien sent a superb curling effort just past the upright before Forfar got the goal their pressure deserved as Craig (81) bent a shot into the bottom corner from Andy Ryan's pass.

There was late drama, however, as McMenamin nodded in an 88th-minute winner.
