McGuire Cup: Bonargrove 5 Blackness 1

After last week's comedy boxing match against Burton, Bonar were back in cup action in the quarter finals of the McGuire against lower league Blackness in a game they were expected to win. As with last week, Bonar could only muster the bare 11 with a number of key men missing - Derek "Speroni" Petrie was up all night trying to get his goalie top on so he could replace Deek in the sticks and had a great game. Young Scrim and Robbie returned whilst Scotty, Lee and Nikita were notable absentees.

The game was boring. Blackness weren't up to much and were extremely lucky that a combination of bad passing/finishing and an inadequate referee meant that the scoreline stayed at 5. Scheva notched 4 to make him top scorer by a fair bit and Chico notched the other and the two linked up very well up top. Highlight of the game was Scrimmy bursting a gut to get into the box and when Scheva laid it on a plate for him he just fell over. Scrimmy can be seen in this picture controlling the ball.



Another semi-final for the Bonar boys, just need to get a few league points now.
