Feb 24 2008 Bill Collins Reports

DELIGHTED Neale Cooper saluted his four-goal stars' stunning display that kept their promotion dream alive.

The Peterhead boss was impressed with the way his side dug deep to see off stubborn 10-man Beath.

An own goal from Kenny Adamson started the rout with Robert Mann, Iain Good and Martin Bavidge also on target.

Cooper said: "It was an absolutely horrendous day but we adapted well and scored great goals.

"We realised other teams would pick up points and responded by winning."

The Blue Toon went ahead in 19 minutes when Adamson headed Graeme Sharp's cross into his own net.

The turning point came in 48 minutes when Bryan Gilfillan was sent off for a foul on the edge of the area.

Mann cracked the free-kick into the roof of the net before Good added the third in 57 minutes, with Bavidge driving home in 72 minutes to wrap it up.

Beath gaffer Brian Welsh said: "We were in second gear and didn't do enough at all."
