Oban Saints were made to dig deep to book their place in the fourth round of the West of Scotland Amateur Cup at a windswept Kilsyth Sports Field last Saturday afternoon. Well-organised hosts Kilsyth Community FC Amateurs, who are flying high in Division 1A of the Caledonian League, kept Saints at bay for almost an hour before a defected Craig MacEwan shot finally turned the tie in Saints’ favour.
Kilsyth’s front pairing of Peter Gribbin and Jack Williamson remained a constant threat throughout before close range efforts from Matthew Kelly and David Beaton finally made the tie safe for Saints.
