East Kilbride 0, Sauchie 2: Sauchie send Kilby spinning out of the South Challenge Cup

East Kilbride were sent crashing out of the South of Scotland Challenge Cup after East of Scotland League side Sauchie turned in a second half super show to set up a semi-final against Auchinleck Talbot.

Jack Docherty was the hero for the visitors, setting up goals for Ross Crawford and Brian Morgan.

East Kilbride certainly weren't without their chances and probably dominated in that aspect in the first half.

While Sauchie had more openings, some of Kilby's were of the clear-cut variety.

However, Sauchie came out and hit their hosts hard in the second half, and had the game effectively tied up just after the hour-mark.

An entertaining first half ended goal-less, but that wasn't through lack of effort from both sides.

Sauchie certainly weren't overawed by their higher league opponents, and had some good chances of their own.

Kilby probably had the better of the chances, and maybe edged it in the first half, but both sides had an effort off the line and a chance where you felt they really had to score.

The second half was just three minutes old when Sauchie took the lead and they dominated after that, scoring their second in 62 minutes through Morgan's terrific header.

New East Kilbride boss Kevin Rutkiewicz made two changes from last week's emphatic Lowland League Cup win over Gretna 2008 last weekend. In came Aidan McDonald and Ross Taylor, for Neil McLaughlin and Chris Millar.

Sauchie coach Fraser Duncan made five changes from their 2-0 East of Scotland Qualifying Cup win over Newtongrange Star on Wednesday. Goalkeeper Charles Clark, captain Scott Davidson, Danny Smith, Sam Columbine, Sam Davidson and Brian Morgan came in for keeper Evan Columbine, Iain Syme, Darren Carroll, Kris Kelly, Grant Dickie and Connor Kelly.;
