Annan Athletic v Elgin City Saturday 10th January 2015 The sun shone briefly on a bitterly cold January afternoon in Annan with strong winter gusts hurrying across the Solway Firth and into Galabank. Ultimately, the sun shone brightly on the players from Elgin who had made a long journey down from North East Scotland. Elgin played a more controlled game, keeping the ball on the ground as much as possible through the evergreen football skills and nous of Dennis Wyness, a couple of months shy of his 38th birthday. The ball would come into his feet and with one touch he would find a team mate and move into space. Sitting in the stand at the half way line, the game was entertaining for the 311 fans, with twice Annan taking the lead through David Hopkirk and Ryan McStay. Elgin were up for a fight though and did not allow themselves to give up. Craig Gunn had a first half equaliser and two second half goals, first from Daniel Moore and then a header from Ally Gilchrist in the 74th minute, allowed Elgin to run out winners. Annan had some late opportunities but a resolute Elgin held out to take three well deserved points for the second consecutive game on their travels.
