Game 78: St Rochs 2-1 Crossgates Primrose.
St Rochs through after a goalless second half that got a bit attritional at times.
They had good chances but failed to add to their lead.
Crossgates forced one really good save from the Candy keeper.

Pie review: 'Steak & Stornoway', St Rochs FC.
Had one of these last season and it lacked steak content. A better balance and so much better this time. A moreish, melt in the mouth filling, absolutely delicious. A lovely pie all round.

A good first half for St Rochs, who are 2-1 up on Crossgates Primrose.
A fair reflection. The first goal was a lovely 20 yarder, the second scrambled in after the Primrose goalie failed to gather a high ball.
The visitors got a goal back quickly.

It's football day. A local game for me this sunny Glaswegian afternoon as St Rochs host Crossgates Primrose in a delayed South Challenge Cup tie.
These two are at the same First Division level in their respective leagues, the seventh level of our game.

Had low expectations ahead of this one but it turned into a humdinger.
Some of the defending left a bit to be desired, but equally some tremendous finishing. Ironically, the point apiece doesn't suit either side.

Pie review: Scotch Pie, Alloa Athletic.
The Alloa pie hut is legendary but this wasn't a good pie. Not very warm; soft and doughy pastry; firm, hamburger-like filling. Quite pricey. Not great at all. But at least it wasn't a Bell's...

Its been an even first half at Alloa, but a second goal on the stroke of half time means Alloa go in 2-1 ahead.
Clyde will be a bit disappointed. They've had a couple of chances on top of their early opening goal.
Been a decent game.

Now, I could have stayed in the house doom scrolling or watching Corrie and Emmerdale. But where's the fun in that?!
Nope, not when Alloa Athletic are playing Clyde in the 'KDM Evolution Trophy' at the Recs!

St Mirren left to rue two goals disallowed by VAR for offside at key moments. Att 7,116.

Hibs 1-0 up after a fast and furious first half in Paisley. A good strike from Mulligan.
St Mirren unlucky not to be at least level - they had a goal disallowed for what must have been a very tight offside. Hibs' keeper has had two great saves as well.

Onwards to my second game of the day, only nine divisions above the first.
I enjoy a game at St Mirren Park, one of the better modern stadia in my opinion.
This evening, St Mirren host Hibernian in an attractive looking Premiership clash.

First played in 1882.

They're making heavy use of near post corners and crosses that you don't see too often.
