DUNFERMLINE CITY 3, LOMOND UNITED 2

A BRAVE effort from 10-man Lomond United ended in disappointment on Saturday.
They crashed out of the Fife Amateur Cup at the first hurdle, losing narrowly to Dunfermline City.
A difficult task against First Division opposition was made even tougher when on 20 minutes goalkeeper Colin Downie was given his marching orders for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Defender Fraser Thomson took over between the sticks but was helpless to prevent the home side from scoring three times.
United still managed to score twice through captain and top scorer Danny Caldwell, who took his season's tally to eight.
Despite a lot of pressure towards the end of the match, Lomond could not find the equalising goal.

Star Check: 10 Gordon Forbes, 7 Danny Caldwell, 3 Fraser Thomson

SCOTTISH CUP DRAW

LOMOND UNITED 5, DANDERHALL MW 1

LOMOND cruised into the third round of the Scottish Amateur Cup with a comprehensive win over Edinburgh East side Danderhall MW.
A second half hat-trick from David Elder added to first half goals from strike partners Danny Caldwell and Gavin Dales as Lomond eased into the draw.
United were ahead after 25 minutes when Kenny Christie's corner fell to Caldwell at the back post, who took a touch and slammed home.
The visitors levelled with their first shot on target as a well struck effort from 20 yards left goalkeeper Colin Downie with no chance.
Dales got Lomond back in front before half-time capitalising on a spill from the Danderhall keeper to volley into an unguarded net.
Downie produced a wonder save from a one-on-one just after the restart as a long ball caught out the home defence.
But from then on, Lomond took control and started to play the football they are capable of.
D.Elder's first saw the left winger latch onto a rebound to score, before he popped up again at the back post to score an almost identical second.
His hat-trick was completed late in the game when he broke the offside trap and dispatched a clinical finish past the keeper.

Star Check: 10 David Elder, 7 Fraser Thomson, 3 Sean Farrell
