WITH just over a week to the semi-finals of the OVD Cup, the

contenders continued their build-up with varied fortunes. Only Glenafton

registered an outright victory with a 4-0 win over Kello Rovers thanks

to goals from Archer, Millar, Moore and new signing from Largs Thistle

Steven Quigg.

Camelon were held to a 1-1 draw in their Whyte and MacKay Cup tie.

Leading 1-0 through a David Flynn goal they lost an 86th-minute

equaliser to Arniston Rangers.

Whitburn desperate for points to close the gap on league leaders

Camelon could only manage a 0-0 draw against Bonnyrigg Rose and Lochee

United defeated Scone Thistle in the Cream of the Barley Cup 4-1 on

penalty kicks after drawing 2-2.

In the Ayrshire Region, Auchinleck bounced back from their shock 2-1

midweek defeat by Darvel to beat Irvine Vics 2-1 and draw level on

points with Kilwinning Rangers at the top of the Western Stagecoach

League. Leaders Kilwinning led Irvine Meadow courtesy of of ex-Clydebank

player Kenny Wilson but Meadow levelled through Milton Thompson goal.

Two goals from striker Scott McKernan and another from centre half Barry

McCorriston gave Beith a convincing 3-1 win over Kilbirnie in the

Cunningham Cup.

Largs Thistle continued their good run since the arrival of new team

manager David McKellar with a 1-0 victory over fellow relegation

candidates Darvel. An 85th-minute headed goal from Martin Gray gave them

the points and a fighting chance of staying up.

Pollok, with only one defeat in the Reebok Premier Division this

season continued on their winning way on Saturday with a 3-0 win over

Shotts Bon Accord. Despite having the better of the first half, Shotts

lost two goals -- a Benny Rooney header and a Danny O'Halloren tap in --

in a five minute period just before half-time. Substitute McGrogan

completed the scoring five minutes from time.
