Stenhousemuir fend off Peterhead threat to clinch promotion
Posted Sunday, May 13, 2018 by PA
Stenhousemuir secured promotion to Ladbrokes League One after beating Peterhead 2-1 on aggregate despite losing the second leg of the play-off final 1-0 at Balmoor.
Michael Dunlop’s first-leg double on Wednesday proved the difference for the Warriors, with Russell McLean’s second-leg winner for Peterhead ultimately in vain.
Stenhousemuir defender Ross Meechan cleared Jordan Brown’s effort off the line in the closing stages of a first half that was short on chances.
Hosts Peterhead dragged themselves back into the tie after 54 minutes when McLean headed home William Gibson’s cross.
The hosts were reduced to nine men – David McCracken received a second yellow card in the 66th minute and Jack Leitch saw red in added time – as they failed to find an aggregate equaliser.
