BLOWN AWAY BY LOK BLITZ; JUNIORS.

Byline: KRISTIAN TRUELSEN

NEILSTON ........1 POLLOK .........3

A DEVASTATING first-half goal blitz saw Pollok power their way past Neilston to claim top spot in their League Cup section.

The Premier Division side stormed into a 3-0 lead thanks to goals from Calum Hardie, John Sweeney and Ryan McGregor.

Pollok went for the kill against their First Division rivals right from the start and grabbed the lead in 13 minutes.

Andy Effler drilled in a menacing cross and Hardie slotted home from six yards. Lok then doubled their lead in 24 minutes when Sweeney rifled the ball past Mark Quinn after brilliant set-up play by Shaun Dillon.

And just before the half-hour Hardie played a terrific through ball to release McGregor whose low shot found the net.

Neilston were reeling but David Armour gave them a glimmer of hope before the break when his right-foot drive flew past Kris Robertson.

The goal lifted the home side and a looping shot from Andy Whiteford almost put them right back in it.

Lok stepped up the pace again and Andy McLaren could have made it 4-1 with eight minutes left when he raced clear but Quinn blocked his effort.

ARMADALE .....0 WHITBURN .....3

ANDREW DOIG bagged a super second-half double as Whitburn cruised to a friendly win.

But they have gloves man Stewart Walker to thank for keeping the score blank at half-time with super saves from Craig Chilton and Robbie Feeney.

Whitburn were stronger after the break and took the lead when Colin Strickland flicked a clearance into Doig's path and he drilled a shot past Bob Wood.

Next Kenny Hannah set up Strickland to slam home the second goal. The scoring was complete with 10 minutes left when Doig glanced home Scott Murphy's free-kick.

ROB ROY ..3 DUNIPACE ..2

ROB ROY struck twice in injury time to stave off a cup shock.

Dunipace's Stephen Oates saw red in 20 minutes and they were struggling when James Orr sliced into his own net. But Ryan McCafferty levelled and Kieran McIlduff put Pace ahead against a side two divisions above them.

Rob Roy's Kevin Murray was sent off before Andrew Moore and Grant Anderson struck to break Pace hearts.

JOHNSTONE BURGH .......2 GREENOCK ......2

THOMAS DOCHERTY'S late strike was enough to snatch a share of the spoils for battling Greenock.

Burgh took the lead in 58 minutes when Colin Smith found space at the edge of the area and turned well before drilling in a low shot past Bryan Tucker.

And they went further ahead when Davie Brolly thundered home from 30 yards in 63 minutes.

But seven minutes later the comeback was on when Ryan McDonald stabbed home from close range before Docherty earned a point with a great solo effort.

CUMBERNAULD UTD ...........1 KILSYTH ........1

DENNIS DUFFY struck 20 minutes from the end to snatch a point for 10-man Cumbernauld.

Andy McGinty met Francis Kelly's corner to head Kilysth into the lead midway through the first half.

Duffy pounced on Thomas Jarvie's loose backpass to slot past stranded Rangers keeper Conor O'Boyle.

United had David Buchanan sent off for handball 10 minutes from time but Tony Martin missed a sitter at the death as Kilsyth failed to cash in.

KILBIRNIE LADESIDE .........3 DALRY ..............1

MIGHTY Mark McRoberts bagged an early opener to help Kilbirnie dump their local rivals.

McRoberts took just 40 seconds to put Ladeside in front before Paul Bell added a second from the penalty spot following a foul on Steve Millar.

Dalry pulled one back in 57 minutes when Craig Potter headed home from a John Mason cross.

But in the final minute sub Liam McGuiness set up Mark McKeever to seal Kilbirnie's win.
