Maryhill exited the last last cup of the season with their heads held high after a creditable performance which saw them match their top division opponents for long spells of the game. The Hill were quickest off the blocks at the start of the tie, forcing a series of corners and with no takers for a fine Scobie cutback in the seventh minute. Banks sent a good effort just too high from the edge of the area while Calder got down well to stop a shot at the other end just a minute later. The Peasy were playing on the break early on, and it took a fine last-ditch Mcgoldrick tackle to prevent a goalscoring opportunity. Gradually as the half wore on, the higher league club began to assert their dominance, and Chris Calder was forced into several fine saves to keep the game scoreless. He was however helpless to prevent the opener just after the half-hour when a michael Keenan shot cannoned off the unfortunate Ross Barr, taking a huge deflection and spinning into the net. The Hill fought back, with Banks coming close after some fine team play at the edge of the Peasy box.

HT 0-1

The second half was end-to-end for long spells, with both teams giving as good as they got. The Hill equalised not long after the hour mark when Craig Ferguson laid the ball off to Ryan Scobie and continued his run. The striker sent a curling shot in which may or may not have taken a dink off Fergie on the way in, however the intent to score was certainly there, so we're awarding it to top scorer Scobie! As the game progressed it looked certain to be heading for penalties, but with eight minutes to go, sub McBride scored the winner with a left-footed drive. All in all, a satisfactory performance despite the defeat - it was also good to see the two famous old North Glasgow foes rekindle their rivalry in competitive action after too long apart.
