Colville Park Country Club West of Scotland Cup

Played New Douglas Park home of Hamilton FC

Hurlford Thistle AFC 0 Colville Park AFC 2

Colville pressed from the start without much joy while Hurlford relied on the occasion break up field. in a entertaining first half. It took some desperate defending and last minute interventions by the Ayrshire men to resist Colvilles advance and the speculation at the interval that the Lanarkshire men could rue their missed chances

Ten minutes after the restart the tension was broken by Colville when McKay made up for some missed chances with a wonderful low angled drive that whipped past the unfortunate Ryan Farrell in the Thistle goal.

It has to be said that Hurlford failed to respond to the set back and another warning came when Murray picked up a loose ball but could only fire over the target.

Then in the 75th minute a good passage of play settled the issue. Farrell did well to divert a wicked drive from Thomas Airlie out for a corner kick, however when the cross came over Alan Lister rose to head into the roof of the net.

The Ayrshire men never recovered, players came off the bench too no avail and the Lanarkshire men played out time without much pressure before Captin Jamie Daily went forward to collecting the cup for the first time in his clubs history.

Man of the Match went to David McKay (Colville Park)
