Craigmark Burntonians 2 Largs Thistle 2
(Craigmark win 4-2 in penalties).


Largs Thistle lost out in penalties in the first round of the Scottish Cup after a shock late collapse against Craigmark.
Thistle were seemingly coasting at 2-0 after goals from George Sewell and Connor McGoldrick going into the final stages.
However, two penalties were conceded by Largs which were both converted in the 90th and 96th minute to take the match into the lottery of a penalty shoot-out.
Craigmark, buoyed by their late comeback, finished the job off, to send Largs crashing out of the cup at the first time of asking in a shock turnaround.
Thistle boss Stuart Davidson said: "Although we got an early goal on six minutes I didn't think we played particularly well in the first half so I had a wee go at the team at half-time.
"We did play better in the second half and after that I felt we had the chances to finish the game off but we didn't take them and that was frustrating."
The opening goal saw a good run from Laurie McMaster who did well on the left and cut in before sending over a good cross to the back post which was met by a strong header from Sewell to give Largs the early lead.
Thistle didn't capitalise in the first half though but picked things up in the second half with Largs winning a corner kick on 65th minute.
A ball was directed into the box and McGoldrick rose high about the defence with his aerial threat to send a firm header into the back of the net.
Good chances followed for Largs including a one-on-one but the score remained up until the last minute of regulation time.
However, Craigmark, who sit top of West of Scotland Division Three, after an unbeaten start to the league, were pushing Largs in the final stages and putting pressure on the Largs defence.
Sewell was adjudged to have fouled a Craigmark forward in the box as both players went to ground and the penalty was put away by the home side to give them some hope.
And in the 96th minute, the ref again pointed to the spot after Laurie McMaster blocked a shot on the line with his hand and was consequently sent off. 
Craigmark kept their composure and rifled home the spot kick to take the match into the shoot-out which was won by Ryan Caddis's Craigmark side who took all the plaudits after knocking out last season's quarter finalists from a seemingly impossible position going into stoppage time.
Football can sometimes be very cruel and it was for Largs on this occasion who took a big support down to Dalmellington, having been ahead for 84 minutes in the game, but it shows the importance of keeping concentration right until the final whistle.
Craigmark make it through to play the 2nd round of The Clydebuilt Home Improvements Scottish Junior Football Association Cup.
Their reward is a trip to Syngenta, based in Larbert, while Largs have to concentrate on the important task of maintaining their Premier League status, and other cup competitions.
