Stobbie edge thriller

SPORTS Cooney grabs late winner to torpedo Fintry cup hope

THE final two quarterfinalists were decided at the weekend for the Ross Kirk Memorial Trophy contested by P rem ier Division teams.

Result of the round was Stobswell’s late winner i n a seven-goal thriller against Fintry Athletic to go through as Group A runners-up and putting their opponents out.

A mistake from the Fintry keeper i n the l ast couple of minutes gave Kris Cooney the winner after Kris Hutton had grabbed a brace and Steve Martin the other. The win sets Stobbie up for their quarter-final this weekend against Park Tool.

Charlie Accies join them in the last eight, having come from 2-1 down against Cannon Fodder to win the tie 3-2.

Callum Stewart had drawn Fodder level before the break with a run from defence.

Then Reggie Anderson’s chip over the Accies keeper had Fodder back in the hunt needing to win by two clear goals to progress.

However, a defensive howler saw Fodder pegged back level in the final five minutes and the tie was wrapped up in the last minute with a nicely-worked Accies winner.
