The whole team attending a party the night before probably wasn't the best idea as another poor performance meant Bonar exited the League Cup at the 1st round stage. Numbers were low again, with only Scrimmy and Gary on the bench. Lee, Rada and Mussy were amongst those missing.
Conditions were fairly bad with the wind blowing down the Claypotts brae and Harleys were on top in the first half and earned themselves a 2-1 lead at half-time. Ascot Dave increased his lead at the top of the goal scoring charts with a well taken goal.
Deek pulled up injured in the first half and Scrimmy again had to deputise and with the score at 2-0 pulled off another penalty save.
Despite playing down the hill in the 2nd half, Bonar managed to find themselves quickly 3-1 down but managed to turn it around with a long range miskick from Dunny and a header from Gary. Bonar dominated the rest of the 2nd half and the majority of extra time but couldn't find a way through a resolute Harleys defence. Chico had to come off injured meaning Bonar played the last ten minutes without him.
It came down to the lottery of penalties and despite having an impressive record of saves Scrimmy couldn't win Bonar the game as misses from Gav and Craig Stevens meant Harleys progressed to the next round 8-7 on penalties.
Craig Stevens penalty was captured on a supporter's phone...
