GREENVERSITY RENEWABLES	WOSFL Premier Division	Match 24
Glenafton Athletic	1 (1)	Jordan
Auchinleck Talbot	2 (1)	Thomson 2
Sat 29 Mar 2025	KO 2:00 pm	Loch Park, New Cumnock

Glenafton made two changes to the eleven that started at Largs last Saturday with Ryan Walker and Chris Erskine making way for Ryan McCubbin and Evan Maley.

Auchinleck’s starting eleven included former Glens midfielder Michael Wardrope.

The match kicked off in atrocious conditions with a strong wind blowing the heavy rain across the length of the pitch and as such there were few chances on show.

Auchinleck broke the deadlock on 31 minutes, after a free kick from wide on the left was curled to the back post where the ball was knocked across into a packed six-yard box for Euan Thomson to score from close range.

Glenafton drew level 5 minutes later after Ross Lindsay floated a free-kick from tight on the right, close to the corner flag, to a busy back post and where Jordan Allan won the aerial battle to send a downward header bounce into the net.

The home side came close to taking the lead after Michael Mullen gathered the ball on the outskirts of the Auchinleck box to forge his way past defenders before curling a low shot from 20 yards that beat the keeper at full stretch only to bounce off the base of the post.

The rain relented at the start of the second half and Ross Lindsay’s free kick dipped over the Auchinleck bar while soon after Cammy Ross a powerful run through numbers only to be stripped off the ball and as Lyall Holding caught Austin Sime as they challenged for the loose ball, the referee deeming that Holding’s slide tackle was worthy of a red card, Glens down to 10 men just short of the hour mark.

The rained returned and the 10 men were still posing a threat with Shuggy Kerr driving into the left-hand side of the box to drill a low angled shot only for keeper Corey Armour to advance to the six- yard line to block with his instep.

At the other end, Neil Schoneville slipped a defence splitting pass into the left hand side of the box for the inrushing Thomson to take a touch before blasting a shot into the sid-netting.

Two minutes from time Neil McPherson headed home an in-swinging corner only for the referee to have blown for an infringement beforehand. However on 90 minutes a Talbot tumble in the box earned the visitors a spot-kick that Euan Thomson slammed into the net and seal the points.
