LUGAR Boswell Thistle boss Dean Keenan has challenged his side to go on the winning trail after earning a resounding victory over Giffnock.
The Jaggy Bunnets moved into the top half of the WoSFL Third Division on Saturday with a 5-2 victory at Rosebank Park.
It was a match which the hosts led early with Jake Graham hitting home the opening goal of the game.
The visitors would level shortly afterwards but goals from Shay McKeown and a second for Graham put Keenan's men in a comfortable position at the break.
Giffnock briefly cut the deficit to one after the restart but strikes from Cailean Campbell and Craig McLean saw Lugar cruise over the finishing line.
“We were excellent on Saturday," Keenan commented. "We’ve been good going forward the majority of the season.
“The goals we conceded were, again, from a set play, that was the disappointing thing.
“But we were down to the bare bones on Saturday, so it was a good win and that’s us six unbeaten in the league and moving up to where we want to be.”
The win extended Lugar's unbeaten league run to six matches.
Though Keenan wants his side to kick on and secure another win to extend the stretch which has featured four draws so far.
He added: “The challenge now is to go and do it back-to-back, we’ve not won back-to-back games all year.
“If we do that than we’ll probably be around where I see us being this year with a chance to push on heading into the second half of the season.
“Hopefully we’ll have a couple of bodies back and we’ll look to add to the squad in the coming weeks.”
The boss knows there is now a chance to make up ground on sides around them with his team to host Royal Albert on Saturday, November 14 (1.30pm KO).
Keenan continued: “Royal Albert have lost their manager, but they’ve still had some good performances and results, there’s a right good side there.
“It’s another home game, we know that we’ll need to be at it and defend better than we have the majority of this season.
“We’ve had some games against teams roundabout us, now we’re playing against teams higher up the league.
“We know we need to drive on and be confident; we’ve put together a couple of good results and we’re scoring goals for fun.”
