Great Scottish Cup match

Posted on Saturday, September 27th, 2008

In a pulsating game at Newlandsfield we drew 1 – 1 with hosts Pollok.  Nickty Walker scored from the spot on the hour mark after Pollok had taken the lead in the 12th minute.  Both teams had a number of chances to score a winner in the seond half…both Donal Henretty and Walker hitting the woodwork for Spartans and then in th 92nd minute Daryl Devlin scooped over from the angle with only the ‘keeper to beat.    The crowd was 1170 and the small band of Spartans fans were delighted with a good away performance.
