LOMOND UNITED 4, METHIL ROVERS 2

TWO GOALS in the last 15 minutes saved Lomond from an embarrassing draw on Saturday.
Playing against nine men, albeit down to 10 men themselves, Lomond somehow managed to surrender a two-goal lead before recovering to win the game late on.
Skipper Danny Caldwell got Lomond's opener after just 10 minutes when he was tripped by a Methil defender as he bore down on goal.
The defender received his marching orders for a last man foul and Caldwell coolly stroked the penalty into the bottom corner.
It was soon 2-0 as Drew McLeod's precision pass put David Elder behind the visiting defence and he made no mistake from close range.
Soon after Methil lost another man as a striker was shown a straight red for a stamp on Matt Elder, who was also sent off for retaliating.
At half-time the message from manager Alex Simpson was to go for more goals, but the players instead invited pressure on themselves.
Methil forced Colin Downie into two outstanding saves before McLeod's needless trip gifted the visitors a penalty, which was duly converted.
Five minutes later a cross-come-shot looped over Downie's head and into the top corner and Methil celebrated an unlikely equaliser.
Determined to avoid a third consecutive home defeat, Lomond pulled themselves together and D.Elder restored the homesters lead with a simple finish from six yards.
Striker Gavin Dales, operating on the right of midfield, ensured a comfortable last 10 minutes, cutting in from the wing to slide home the fourth.

Star Check: 10 David Elder; 7 Danny Caldwell; 3 Gordon Forbes.

LOMOND UNITED 2, STRATHCLYDE UNIVERSITY 3

UNITED’S cup dream ended at Ladybank on Saturday when they let a 2-0 lead slip against the students from Strathclyde University.
Lomond went in front after four minutes when Danny Caldwell capitalised on a short pass back.
Six minutes later it was 2-0 when Gordon Forbes converted a David Elder corner.
The Strathclyde ‘keeper then made three excellent saves to keep the tie alive.
Against the run of play the visitors made it 2-1 at the interval.
The second half saw a different Lomond as they were second to every ball and wayward passing looked to be giving the students a lift.
It came as no surprise when they levelled the match after 60 minutes with a ball over the top, that caught them out.
Strathclyde got the winner with 15 minutes remaining when a corner was headed home by the tallest player on the pitch.
