The Ross County and Falkirk Under-18 sides fought out a 2-2 draw in their SPL Youth League Fixture. County were given a stern test by a lively Falkirk side.
The home side brought back Sean Webb and Don Cowie and it was COWIE who gave them the lead in the 5th minute when he ran on to a through ball to beat the 'keeper.
Falkirk equalised in the 20th minute following a corner. However, Connor GETHINS restored County's advantage just before half time when he broke through and chipped the advancing 'keeper.
The second half saw the visitors dominating more pf the play and in the 60th minute they finished off a good move to make the score 2-2.
Although they had less of the ball, the County forwards were dangerous on the break and Gethins had a couple of opportunities, but was not able to finish.
Ross County U-18 XI: Shearer; Crilly, Trialist, Webb, Bolochoweckyj, Cowie, Campbell, Blackley, Gethins, Jack (Keldie) and Young (Guild). Unused Subs: Duncanson and Lamb.

A missed penalty and a shot against the woodwork prevented Ross County's Under-18 side from gaining a point in their SPL match at Falkirk.
County's U-18s are having to battle hard for results in the SPL as their squad is a bit depleted at the moment.
For most of the season three members have featured regularly in the first team, although Don Cowie made an appearance in the team for this encounter.
With some of the other players currently injured, three 15-year-olds were on the substitutes' bench - and this demonstrates that coach Ronnie Duncan is looking ahead.
County had a great chance to take the lead but Douglas Blackley failed to convert a penalty. Falkirk's reply was to go up the park and score to take a half time lead.
Early in the second half the visitors were awarded another penalty and this time Darren JACK made no mistake to level the game.
Soon afterwards David Wilson almost put County ahead but his shot struck a post.
Falkirk took the lead and although County continued to plug away they could not find the equaliser. Falkir scored late on to seal the tree points.
Ross County U-18: Rice; Trialist -1, Hill, Bolochoweckyj, D Wilson, McAskill, Blackley, Cowie, Young, Campbell and Jack. Subs: Duncanson, Keldie, Lawrie, T Wilson and Trialist-2.
