From the Arbroath Herald: Arbroath finally ended their 12 game unbeaten run when two goals from two youth players secured a 2-1 win against Stenhousemuir.
Both Chris Scott and Dayle Robertson both scored their first senior goals to end the Lichties’ terrible record.
However, it was the Warriors who opened the scoring on 12 minutes.
A great ball by Sean Higgins fell to Darren Smith.
With the Lichties’ defence sleeping, Smith took his time to line upn his shot and blast it straight past Scott Morrison.
But their lead didn’t last long as just six minutes later, some good work from Paul Sheerin found Bobby Linn, who went on a run down the left hand side.
His cross fell to Christopher Scott, who was perfectly positioned to slot the ball home from close range to equalise.

Sheerin then also had a golden opportunity with a long range winding effort but it hit the top of the crossbar.
