Weekends WoSFL: Burgh edge seven-goal cup tie as Renfrew and Thorn progress, Glenvale draw and St Peter’s hit six
A busy Saturday, 11th October brought goals all over for Renfrewshire’s clubs, with Johnstone Burgh winning a thriller, Renfrew and Thorn advancing in the cup, Glenvale taking a point on the road and St Peter’s running riot.
Johnstone Burgh
Burgh came out on top in a breathless South Challenge Cup Round 3 tie, beating Camelon 4–3. Gilmartin’s crisp finish after six minutes set the tone, but the game swung repeatedly before McShane struck on 76′. An own goal on 83′ nudged Burgh in front and Esplin sealed it at 90+3′, booking a Round 4 place.
Renfrew FC
Renfrew saw off Kirkcaldy & Dysart 2–1 to reach Round 4. Aiden Malcom put them ahead on 6′ and later doubled up with a cut-inside strike that took a touch past the keeper. Renfrew managed the closing stages well to see it out.
Thorn Athletic
Thorn delivered a composed away performance to defeat Edinburgh South 2–1 in Round 3. Ross Denny finished neatly for the opener and Nathan McLelland converted from the spot to secure progress.
Glenvale
Glenvale earned a solid 2–2 Third Division draw away to Easterhouse. Ross Stevenson grabbed the first before David Brown added the second, with the visitors showing good resilience through a scrappy middle spell.
St Peter’s
St Peter’s were ruthless in a 6–0 win over BSC Glasgow, with goals from Craig Bell, Max Devine, Riaghan McCarthy, a Daniel Sinclair brace and Johnny Mellon. A clean sheet rounded off a dominant afternoon.
