St Cuthbert Wanderers eye cup glory after making Tweedie Cup semi-finals

St Cuthbert Wanderers have their eye on cup glory after making it through to the semi-finals of the Tweedie Cup.

The Kirkcudbright side have been handed a last-four tie at Creetown after beating Caledonian Braves 7-3 on Saturday.

Boss Jordan Williamson said: “This squad is good enough and performing in a way that they deserve to lift some silverware, but we know nothing is a given.

“We know we need to earn the right to be in semi-finals and final. I’m confident they can continue these performances and reap the rewards they merit.

“We need to earn the right but I’m confident, come May, we will be in finals and lifting some silverware.”

Saturday’s game was switched from Alliance Park to Kirkcudbright but had to be delayed by an hour after referee Stephen Foggin went to the original venue.

That didn’t disrupt Saints too much as they took a comfortable win, Scott Ballantyne starting and finishing the scoring with Owen Hall, Russell Williamson and Luke Currie also on the scoresheet, with Dale Milligan bagging a brace.

The Saints boss said: “I thought the boys handled the reset and delay really well. It could have been quite easy for them to go through the motions after being delayed for so long but they did well.

“Right from the off you could tell the boys were going to put in a performance and be as dominant as they were. They had a lot of possession, created a lot of opportunities and scored some really good goals.

“We maybe conceded one or two we shouldn’t have and we could have defended a little bit better and it was disappointing to concede late.

“But we were getting goals from all over the park – midfielders were popping up with goals, they weren’t just leaving it to the forwards.”

Williamson is hoping that continues as
