South progress to the Alex Jack Cup semi-final after goals either side of half time from Kieran Millar & Ciaran Vaughan.
After a shaky opening 30 minutes, Kieran’s goal settled the nerves for us and helped us get a foothold in the game. A much better second half as we kept the ball well.
South will face Kirkcaldy & Dysart at home in the semi-final. Date TBC.
Kenny O'Brien returned to the starting line up following an injury picked up in the previous round vs Luncarty.
