Ardagh Group West of Scotland Cup First Round

IRVINE MEADOW 2

VALE OF LEVEN 1

MEADOW edged past Vale to set up a mouthwatering second round tie away to league champions Beith.

The hosts began well and scored early on when Jared Willet sent a great ball to Andy McLaughlin who rounded the goalie and slotted home.

Vale quickly levelled when McGeachy set up Chris Jackson, who finished well.

Darren Miller then netted with a header, but it was disallowed for some reason. Miller was booked for his protests.

Ciaron Smith then missed a penalty for Meadow.

However Reece Pearson netted late on from the spot to seal victory.

IRVINE MEADOW: Newman; Latta, Willet, Miller, Gow, Devlin, Carnwath, McGuire, McLaughlin, Pearson, Smith. Subs: Jones, Carson, Woods, Wells, Bannister. Subs: Jones, Carson, Woods, Wells, Bannister.
