The Match:
Johnstone Burgh vs Cumnock Juniors. WOSFL Premier Division. Keanie Park, Auchenlodment Rd, Johnstone, PA5 9DJ. Wednesday 30 July. Kick off 19:30.
Form:
Burgh come into the match 3rd in the league, having beaten Kilwinning Rangers 2-0 on Saturday, with goals from either side of half time from Blair Rossiter and Ciaran Diver.
The Opposition:
The Nock are 2nd in the league, beating Largs Thistle 3-1 at home at the weekend. Adam Forde had given them a 1-0 lead at half time (although it could easily have been noted as an own goal by the Largs keeper), before Robbie Buchanan doubled their lead. Cumnock were made to sweat a little when Largs pulled one back with three minutes remaining, but Adam Forde bagged his second of the game in the 89th minute to secure the three points for the home side.
Previous Meeting:
Having beaten Cumnock at Keanie Park 3-0 (Aaron Mason, Darren Christie and Stuart McCann with the goals) earlier in the season, Cumnock exacted their revenge by beating us 1-0 at Townhead Park after Creag Little had given the hosts a first half lead. Luke Scullion kept the score at 1-0 with a penalty save in the second half, before Blair Currie made an excellent save at the other end in the dyaing minutes of the match.
