Bullough Cup – Quarter Finals

Inveraray 1 Lochside Rovers 2

Lochside Rovers are through to the Bullough Cup semi-finals after they came from behind to beat the Inveraray second team at The Winterton.

Having lost 6-0 to Lochside in the league a fortnight earlier, Inveraray fielded a strong spine to their side for this clash with Andrew McMurdo, Douglas Dando and Garry MacPherson all starting.

Lochside manager David MacMillan was unavailable so assistant Duncan MacMillan, helped by Scott Buchanan, took charge of the side and they travelled with 14 players.

They were without the suspended Iain Duffy, Logan Black and Joe MacVicar who are cup-tied and Craig Macmillan who was with the first team.

Jordan Kerr started at half back where he played well with Cammy MacMillan at centre which allowed Scott MacMillan to continue in attack.

Inveraray took the lead through veteran Garry MacPherson on seven minutes, as he punished the Oban side when they failed to clear a loose ball.

Daniel Duffy levelled just five minutes after. Home keeper Ryan McCulloch made an initial save, but Duffy was quickly in to force the rebound home.

Lochside lost Craig Easton through injury after around half-an-hour point so Innes MacMillan came on with Cammy MacMillan dropping into the defence and Scott MacMillan going to full centre.

The Oban camp made more changes at the interval as Duncan Hunt came on in attack, forcing another reshuffle which paid off when Duncan Hunt scored what proved to be the winning goal just five minutes after the hour.

Both teams had chances but Lochside saw out the closing stage to win through.

Lochside Assistant manager Duncan MacMillan said: "Inveraray have some very good young players mixed in with some experience and they certainly gave us a good game.

"It was a tough game but that makes it all the more pleasing to be through to the semi-finals. We do lose players to the first team but that’s the nature of it and it’s how things should work at any club."

Lochside Rovers, beaten finalists in 2025, hope to go one better this time around and they will have home advantage against the Kyles Athletic second team in the semi-finals.

Coincidently, Lochside Rovers and Kyles Athletic meet on Saturday, this time in Mowi South Division 1 at Ganavan.
