Bishopmill Villa- 3 .Vs. 1 -Brander FC
Tewnion Cup Semi Final :: Pinefield :: Sunday 09/08/09 :: K.O.- 2pm
Bishopmill Villa confirmed their place in their 2nd cup final of the season as their unbeaten run reached game number 21. Ali Burr's men are on fire at the moment and although Brander pushed them all the way in the 1st half, the Villa made the difference in division's count in the 2nd.
The Lossie side made the better start, pinning their higher division opponents right back from kick off, and it was them who forced the first chance of the semi final. John Evans seeing his header cleared off the Villa line.
But on 9 minutes it was the home side who took the lead, Kelly Sim battling to win the ball before playing through Marc Williams, who ran on before firing home his 2nd goal in 2 weeks. The Lossie men never let that goal bother them though and were unlucky not to go level when Stephen Mitchell's header from a Shane Duthie free kick went inches wide. The rest of the half was pretty even, but neither side could grab a goal.
Half Time Score was 1-0 to Villa.
The 2nd half was a different story however, with Bishopmill going all out to confirm their 2nd cup final place of the season. On 70 minutes, that place was all but booked when Alex McGregor slotted David Gallacher through on goal and he slotted home goal number 2.
The tie was wrapped up on 80 mins when Marc Williams played through Gary Burr who notched goal number 20 for the season. Brander got a consolation with 2 minutes remaining, Shane Duthie being toppled in the box, and the player dusted himself down and slotted home to make the scoreline rather more respectable.
Villa will play Hopeman in the final after they knocked out Premier Division Portgordon Vics on penalties!
