Local football club Civil Service Strollers are through to the next round of the Scottish Cup after they comfortably seen of Dumfries side Newtown Stewart on Saturday. Civil had many chances in the first half but it took until half an hour into the game to hit the net, Darren Aird was left unmarked at the back post and when the ball was whipped in he headed home from close range.
After the interval Newton Stewart started to get back into the game but found it impossible to score any goals. Craig Pinnon then doubled Civil’s lead when he was played in by Ross Aitchison and Pinnon fired home from close range. Stewart O’Neill then broke away from the defence and his powerful shot nestled low in the corner of the net. O’Neill got his second of the match after Eddie Mearns went on aterrific run down the wing and squared to O’Neill who prodded home from close range.
