Auchinleck were forced into make an early substitution bringing on Kier Samson for Graham Wilson. The home side had a number of early chances the best of which saw Kieran Healy head over the bar and Aaron Mason hide wide; both coming from Mark Shankland’s crosses. Soon after Mason fired a shot over the bar.
On the 16th minute Sam McKee tight on the left flank and whipped a wicked cross into the heart of the box only for keeper Andy Leishman to punch it clear from the former Auchinleck striker Sean McIlroy.
Back came the hosts and Shankland’s corner kick to the back post was headed overt the bar by Jake McDowell.
Scott Sherrie for Glens then broke down before cutting inside between two defenders and giving a third the slip before drilling a low shot through the legs of fourth but without the power to test Leishman.
Auchinleck opened the scoring on 29 minutes through the guile of Shankland’s short corner kick to Aaron Mason at the near side of the penalty box who took a great touch before lashing the ball home from a tight angle.
Shankland was then denied the opportunity to double Auchinleck’s lead only for keeper Scott Johnson getting a strong hand to a shot from close range. The keeper later tipped Shankland’s header at the back post over the bar.
