Dan Orsi scored the only goal over the two legs with a cracking strike from the edge of the box in the 1st leg at Loch Park. However, it was more than that one goal that separated the sides as the Glens showed great composure at New Dundas, never looking fazed against their confi- dent hosts, keeping them at bay while always looking dangerous on the break and of course cheered on by the travelling #AftonArmy—’more than a 12th man’. The team showed great professionalism on immediately re-tuning their sights on their title challenge with a fantastic midweek 1-0 away to fellow challengers Auchinleck Talbot thanks to a wonder goal from Conor Lynass and some more stout defending after going down to 10 men on the hour mark. The trip to Arthurlie began well with a sweet strike from John Carter to give the Glens a 1-0 lead at the break. The home side rallied after the break with a de- served equaliser and luck deserted the visitors after the wood work was struck three times ! The 1-0 defeat away to Girvan in the Ayrshire Weekly Press Cup leaves us with 5 league games (four at home) and of course the trip to Rugby Park on June 4th to face Auchinleck in the Scottish Junior Cup final Today we welcome the players and management of Hurlford United in what is their final game of the season.

It took three games to separate the teams with the Glens progressing to their first final after an extra time winner in a 2nd replay and like then today’s match proved to be close encounter with the home side taking a 1-0 lead into the second leg at New Dundas Park next Saturday. The Glens had to make a late change to their starting line-up after top goalscorer Chris Dallas, who had picked up a knee-knock against Beith last week, required treatment in the pre-match warm-up before being deemed unfit to play and his place taken by Joe Andrew. After club captains Craig Menzies and Jonathan Stewart exchanged club pennants the Glens kicked-off against a cold and strong gusting wind. The visitors fashioned the first attempt a goal after Lewis Turner and Alan Horne combined well wide on the right before the latter broke into the box and fired for goal only for the ball to be blocked by David Gray. It was the Glens midfielder that set up the home side’s opening chance with a free kick floated to the back post where Kyle McAusland beat Dean Hoskins to the ball only for his header to sneak inches wide of target. On 7 minutes Turner’s attempt to gather a one-two with Wayne McIntosh inside the Glens box was intercepted by Menzies’ timely tackle and the grounded midfielder appeals for a penalty waved away. The home side enjoyed a good spell of pressure from a series of set pieces none of which test- ed Bonnyrigg keeper Michael Andrews. A wind-assisted Gray free kick from 35 yards out sailed over the bar. Soon after his corner-kick to the near post was cleared at the expense of throw-in which resulted in the midfielder gathering the ball on the edge of the box before thundering a shot screaming wide of the post. Back-to-back corner-kicks quickly followed, the first cleared at the near post and the second picked up at the back post by McAusland before the defender, from a tight angle, lashed a shot that screamed over the finger-tips of the keepers’ hands and over the bar.
