Man of the Match: Ryan KELLY
The only game to take place in a snowbound East Kilbride today was our 1/4 final Cup tie with league leaders Aston Villa Diamonds. From the start our boys had Villa pressed in their own half and they struggled to get out. With a strong wind behind us we were soon in the lead with a wonder free kick from Darren SMITH. Further quick fire goals from Craig HAMILTON and Dean ARROL had Diamonds rocking and they were on the back foot. We pressed all over them with quick passing and some great movement and further goals from Sam HILL and another from Craig HAMILTON saw us 5-0 at half time. We braced ourselves for the Villa onslaught, but our boys continued to play some great passing footaball, and even into the wind looked like being the only team who were going to score. Further goals from Ryan KELLY and Sam HILL put us 7 up, and it was only good goalkeepeing a puddle in the Diamonds goal mouth that kept the score in single figures. It was our best display of the season considering the strength of the opposition and the weather conditions.
