Alan Trouten and Connor Shields net braces as Albion crush Queen's Park
Posted Wednesday, August 16, 2017 by PA
Albion Rovers responded to their opening-day thrashing in Ladbrokes League One by administering one of their own over Queen's Park.
Rovers were thumped 5-1 by Ayr United last weekend but responded in style with a 5-2 victory seven days on as Alan Trouten and Connor Shields each scored a brace after Jason Marr had netted.
Queen's Park had actually gone ahead through Sean Burns but conceded five in the space of 36 minutes either side of the half-time interval before Thomas Orr netted their second late on.
Ayr kept up their 100 per cent start to the season with a 3-0 success over Forfar at Somerset Park.
Craig Moore and Declan McDaid both scored within the space of three first-half minutes and Robbie Crawford wrapped up the points with a third nine minutes from time.
They are the only club to have won each of their opening two fixtures, though Raith remain unbeaten too after a 3-0 triumph over previously unbeaten Stranraer.
Lewis Vaughan scored twice and made the other for Greig Spence in Rovers' victory.
A Greg Hurst goal 11 minutes into the second half earned East Fife a 1-0 win over Alloa while Airdrie drew 1-1 with Arbroath, Andy Ryan cancelling out an opener from Omar Kader.
