Denbeath 1-5 Pittenweem Rovers

Denbeath started brightly and had Rovers pinned back in the opening minutes as they tried to get themselves in front.

Rovers went ahead when Wilkie finished off a Cameron cut-back.

The same duo combined again to increase Rovers’ lead with Wilkie this time the creator.

Rovers continued going forward and heaped further misery on Denbeath with a third goal.

A long ball from defence found Cameron homing in on goal and the big striker lifted the ball deftly over the keeper to make it 0-3.

Denbeath were struggling to stem Rovers’ attacks or retain any possession and, again, the visitors exploited this on the half hour mark when David Wilson floated in a cross from the left where an unmarked Lee Allan headed home.

With the clock running down before the break Wilkie gathered the ball in midfield and struck a superb curling effort into the top corner of the net.

The Denbeath half time team talk paid dividends as they were quickest out of the blocks, catching Pittenweem cold, grabbing a goal back just 30 seconds after the restart to make it 1-5.

Next week, Rovers travel to Valleyfield for a league fixture with a 2.00pm kick off.
