League Cup, Saturday 23rd September 2006

Ormiston 0 Whitehill Welfare 3

Whitehill ensured a 100% record in their League Cup section with a 3-0 win over Ormiston. Following their shock exit from the Qualifying Cup, Rab Finlay and Raymond Carr rang the changes with Brian McEwan coming in at left back, Ross Johnston back in central defence and Alan McDonagh and Paul Hart restored to the midfield.

An uninspiring first half kicked into life just after the half hour mark when McEwan cut in from the left and made a neat interchange with McKenna, before being set up inside the box from where he applied a cool finish into the keeper's right hand corner. Welfare just about deserved the lead as they had made more running in the quest to break the deadlock.

Welfare wrapped up the game with a close in finish from Malone after he was set up by Walker. Ormiston then lost their keeper to injury and having used all their subs, were forced to carry on with ten men. Nicky Walker completed the scoring after cutting into the box from the left and hammering home from 12 yards.

Welfare: McGurk, Wilkes, McEwan, Johnston, Woodburn, McKenna, Malone, Hart, W.McIntosh, McDonagh, Walker. Subs: C. Fisher,
S. Fisher, Cornett, Doig, Swain.
