Surridge Sectional League Cup

Benburb 0 Neilston 2

Bens went down to their second defeat in three days as Neilston rounded off their Sectional outing with a win. The Tinto side felt they dominated Saturday's league match against Port Glasgow but two weakly conceded strikes in the second half overcame Max Asante's effort.
The Bens striker looked the most likely to add to his total tonight but a string of chances over the ninety minutes went astray.
In a closely contested first half Max came close but the chance on the stroke of half-time summed up his night as he met the cross square in front of goal only for it to hook wide.
Neilston took the lead on 50 minutes from the penalty spot after a couple of clumsy challenges left their striker downed in the box. Their right back slotted easily past Quinn.
Bens came close a couple of times after this when Davis knocked a free header high over the bar and then Carroll flicked Asante through but the luckless Max saw his lifted effort palmed away by the keeper.
Neilston rounded off the match with their second in the closing minutes to take all three points.

BENBURB: Quinn, Gillan, Wright, McInnes, Baikie, Fleming, Davis, Carroll, Asante, Waddell, Luke.
