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.
