Pupils take three points after clash with Glasgow side

BSC rattled the crossbar before Lorne Paterson doubled the lead in the 13th minute, heading home Ryan Deans’ in-swinging free kick at the far post.

The visitors were a very well drilled passing side, and the Pupils were fortunate not to concede a goal before the break.

The Kintyre side’s lead was further extended in the 59th minute, when a long throw from the right from Ellis Robertson was headed on by Scott Souden, for Ryan Deans to score with a close range volley.

BSC pulled a deserved goal back after 67 minutes, when the dangerous Callum McKenzie scored with a low drive.

The visitors had their best spell of the match after this, and Pupils keeper Alasdair Ferguson had to make a couple of excellent saves to keep the hosts’ lead intact.

The game was put to bed in the 81st minute when Bainbridge picked up an over-hit corner, before laying it into the path of Liam Renton, to whip in a cross for Souden to bullet a header past the helpless keeper.

BSC reduced the scoreline to 4-2 with two minutes of regulation time remaining, when McKenzie scored with a deflected free kick.

The game ended in some controversy, with Euan Dott and a BSC coach both red-carded after a confrontation in the visitors’ technical area.

It was a good three points for the Pupils, who now get a break from league fixtures with a South Challenge Cup game at home tomorrow (Saturday).

East of Scotland League side Linton Hotspur will make the five-hour journey to Kintyre Park.

Supporters are asked to note that the match will kick-off at 3pm and season tickets are invalid for entry.
