Creetown recover from first league defeat with thumping win over Wigtown

Creetown recovered from their first league defeat of the season with a thumping 8-0 win over Wigtown at Stranraer Academy on Friday night.

Jamie Adams’ side were four goals up at the break thanks to a double from Harry Mitchell and goals from Josh Rennie and Robbie Murray.

Murray and Mitchell struck again after the break with the latter completing his hat-trick, with Shay Meagher and recent signing Adam Wilde also finding the net.

Friday night’s game also saw a return for Joe McMillan.

The forward is back at Castle Cary Park having already turned out for Threave Rovers and
St Cuthbert Wanderers this season.

Adams said: “Wee Joe was good on Friday night. I know what he can do, we’ve got a good relationship but it’s up to Joe what he wants to do.

“It’s not just all about him, it’s a team game.”

Creetown are on their travels again on Saturday with a much more difficult prospect in store as they go to defending league champs Abbey Vale.

Adams added: “It’s another tough game but the games, especially against
