Bellsdale Park (Beith Juniors 3 V 2 Troon FC)

Beith Belter

This NCA West Of Scotland tie was well worth the £5 entry fee. Beith were up 1-0 at half-time through John (JC) Craig. On 55 minutes Beith went 2-0 up through a John Craig free-kick and headed home from Marc (Skid) McShane. Troon then put a fight with Gary Wilson caught in two minds and Graeme Barbour delivered and slotted the ball home to make it 2-1. It was 2-2 within a matter of minutes when veteran Jonathan Baillie headed home. The match then became a scrappy affair with tackles flying in left, right and centre. Beith then got the vital winning goal through Kenny McLean who put a superb strike from distance past Troon keeper Johnston. 

Beith progress into round 2 but Troon came close to upset Beith hearts.
