Scottish League One roundup: Forfar Athletic climb to second

By Joe Sharratt, Reporter | 07 February 2015

Sports Mole rounds up Saturday's weather-affected action from Scottish League One as Forfar Athletic beat Peterhead in the only game of the day.

Forfar Athletic climbed into second in the Scottish League One table with a 3-1 win over sixth-placed Peterhead.

On a day which saw all four other games in the division postponed as a result of the bad weather and Scottish Cup commitments, Dick Campbell's side were the only beneficiaries.

Veteran striker Chris Templeman opened the scoring just after the half-hour mark.

Peterhead then had their top scorer Rory McAllister sent off for a second bookable offence three minutes before the break.

Gavin Swankie's seventh goal of the season 10 minutes into the second put his side two up, before Cameron Kerr's consolation goal for 10-man Peterhead.

However, Swankie then made sure of the win with his second in injury time.

The result sees Forfar leapfrog Greenock Morton, whose clash with Stirling Albion was called off after the Cappielow Park pitch failed an inspection this morning.

Results in full: Ayr United P-P Airdrieonians, Dunfermline Athletic P-P Brechin City, Forfar Athletic 3-1 Peterhead, Greenock Morton P-P Stirling Albion, Stenhousemuir P-P Stranraer.
