Published on Monday 10 November 2008 08:59

Craigroyston 4 Civil Service Strollers 1 CRAIGROYSTON broke the deadlock when a perfectly placed cross from Sean Martin found Sammy Hassan who slotted the ball past Walker.

One minute later Hassan bagged his second, smashing the ball low into the bottom corner after a great run down the wing.

Strollers scored in the 18th minute, Danny Wheelan's shot from 20 yards leaving Weir no chance. But Sean Martin then created Craigie's third goal on the half-hour mark. After beating three Strollers players he played in James Binnie who put the ball into the net. Just before half time Craigie got their fourth goal thanks to David Jeffrey, who scored after the Strollers failed to clear their lines.

On the hour mark Craigie had another opportunity after another great run from Martin and a perfectly placed cross but Steven Manson fired the ball high over the bar from six yards.

In the closing stages the Stroller had a few chances of their own but couldn't score and Craigie ended up deserved winners.
