Darvel 0-2 Beith HT

Good luck to the new lad at Pollok.

Darvel v Beith is the pick of the ties for me. I’m looking forward to gauging Darvel’s progress against one of the best Junior teams around.

Is Kevin McDonald available to play?

Is John Sheridan still playing for Beith? I always thought he would be a good gaffer.

Get some Tena Pants for next Saturday, Bo.

Looked a penalty, & a very good performance from the visitors. But Auchinleck Talbot are truly awesome.

Hurlford 3-1 Shotts Bon Accord. Hurlford flew the boxes, & took an early lead when their best player Chris Robertson powerfully headed home from 6yds,a delightful corner from the left taken by the very impressive Marc McKenzie. The Hurlford lads doubled their advantage after 15mns,when a fine flowing move started by captain Paul McKenzie continued by Marc McKenzie, & finished by Lewis Morrison when he blasted home from the 18yds. Shotts response was rapid, one of their lads won a midfield tussle & hit an inviting ball over the home defence, their no9 Jordan Love timed his run to perfection & hit a lovely pitch & run over the advancing Martin McDonald in the Hurlford goal. Soon after he came close to equalising when he appeared in acres of space in to Hurlford defence, & his effort only just missed the target. Half time Hurlford 2-1 Shotts Bon Accord. The space given to Jordan did not impress Hurlford gaffer Darren Henderson & I enjoyed listening to his half time team talk,whilst I was in line at the very impressive pie hut. Hurlford left winger Jack Whittaker finished the scoring when he took possession from a throw in, ran across the pitch & from 20yds curled a belter past Shotts goalie Johnny Murdoch. Hurlford into round 4, Shotts made them work very hard for the passage.

Paulp9 might be available.

Kirriemuir provided the biggest surprise, for me. Delighted for the lads from the north as well. When’s the draw, hope Larky get an easy trip to Darvel.

Only the one, was he injured?

Many did Graham Gracie score?

Where’s the Rose v Pollok fixture taking place on Saturday?

4/1 Talbot at half time. Dwayne Hyslop is a hero in No9 Committee Rooms, Merchant City, Glasgow.

Very well done to everyone at Auchinleck Talbot. Tremendous achievement.

Some Junior Officials would have stopped the game 2nd half.

Super game, Mark McGinty was outstanding & scored a cracker. Thistle no 8 was best for them. Thistle defender Kyle Stewart made a miraculous goal line clearance, & hit a super pass for Graham Grace to get Jags level. Arguably the finest playing surface in the Junior game yesterday.

Talbot 2-1 up at the break, & a bit fortunate to be so. Lanarks Ian Watt, & James Martin we’re giving the Talbot defence some problems. MOM Brian Boylan gave Talbot an early lead after a mix up in the Lanark box left him all alone 10yds out from where he fired home. Gareth Armstrong put Talbot 2 up when he tapped in from close range after a looping header from a Lanark defender caused havoc in the Lanark goalmouth. Peter O’Donnel scored a cracker for Lanark when he blasted the ball high into the Talbot net from 30yds. Lanark 1-2 Talbot HT Mark Shankland put Talbot 1-3 in front early in the 2nd half. Brian Boylan put Talbot 1-4 up when he finished off a fine flowing move from inside the box. Jack McDowell showed tremendous skill & awareness when he slipped the ball past a Lanark defender on the byline cutting inside & blasting home from close range. Craig McCracken finished the scoring after he profited from some slack defending to roll the ball home from a yard out. Lanarkshire goal scorer received a red card for some shenanigans on the halfway line, Jack McDowell saw yellow in the same incident.
