Pollok 1 GLENAFTON ATHLETIC 3
Scorers : Johnstone 2, Agnew
With Graham Mathie abroad working with Celtic, the Glens made one change from the side that demolished Rangers 5-0 at Duncansfield last week. Mark Quinn moved from midfield to the left-back position and Scott McQuade came into the starting eleven to fill the vacant midfield slot. Pollok fresh from their first league win of the season and buoyed with the re-signing of Raymond Logan from Ayr United were desperate to kick-start their title aspirations. In the opening 10 minutes the ‘Lok looked likely to live up to the pre-match odds as the traffic was one way to Gary Matthews’ goal. It came as no surprise when former ‘Lie hit-man ALAN WADDEL opened the scoring, running onto to a through ball from Turnbull and slotting the ball beyond Matthews. No doubt Pollok will reflect on the next 10 minutes of the game and wondered what might have been if they have converted half the chances they created during that period. Instead it was Glenafton that on the 25th minute who equalized when DARREN JOHNSTONE pounced on a fumble from Kris Robertson in the ‘Lok goal; the normally reliable goalkeeper failing to hold on to a shot from DJ’s strike partner Dale Beattie. The Glens grew in confidence and were the creating the better of the chances with Willie Howie coming close to giving the visitors the lead With five minutes of the lhalf remaining the Glens’ pressure was rewarded when talisman STEVIE AGNEW got on the end of former Pollok player Peter Jordan’s cross and simply passed the ball into the net off the back post.
