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
