Threave Rovers continue good start with 5-0 win over Kilsyth Athletic
The Castle Douglas side made it seven points from nine in the West of Scotland League's second division. Threave Rovers continued their good start to the season with a 5-0 win over Kilsyth Athletic on Saturday. Ross Irving kept up his fine form with the opener after just a few minutes, skipper Dylan Cairnie getting the second 10 minutes before the break. And when Harry Officer curled one home from 20 yards it was game over. Cairnie set up Irving for Threave's fourth – and the striker's third brace in three games before Liam Douglas completed the scoring. Threave boss Danny Dunglinson said: 'We scored early on, then they came back into the game and had a couple of chances. They'll probably feel they should have scored one and got level, but once we scored the second goal we were in total control. 'The wind was against us in the first half, it was a lot stronger than we realised and we got caught a couple of times, which was where their chances came from. 'Once we had the wind at our backs in the second half they couldn't get out and we scored another three goals. 'Once the third goal went in it was game over. It was important to get that and you can enjoy the rest of the game and be a bit more relaxed - and you take your chances when you're a bit more relaxed. 'We had five boys on the bench that would probably get in any West of Scotland premier team. 'We just felt with two games this week we had to get boys minutes, rather than playing the same team. It was a chance for us to rest a few boys, get them on after 60 or 70 minutes so they had minutes ahead of Tuesday but weren't going to be fatigued.' The game also saw the first appearance for summer signing Robbie Hogg. The striker joined Threave from South of Scotland League champs Lochar Thistle and put in a man of the match display after coming off the bench. Dunglinson said: 'He's been on holiday - he went on a Saturday so he automatically misses two games. It was his first game back but he had played pre-season. 'He came on and was man of the match, he came on after 20 minutes as Owen Brown came off injured and was the catalyst for everything. He pressed well and didn't stop running so that spreads throughout the whole team. 'He's going to be a big player for us the rest of the season.' Threave made it three wins in a row on Tuesday night with a 4-0 triumph at Maybole. Lewis Downie's goal had them in front at the break with Liam Douglas, Frazer Glen and Dylan Cairnie on target in the second half. Saturday sees Threave go to Easterhouse in The Finest South Region Challenge Cup, the Glasgow side having won promotion from the West of Scotland League Fourth Division last season. Dunglinson said: 'They came up last year and have started OK. It's always a tough place to go, we went there a few years ago and were beaten. It's not going to be easy going up there. 'It's a cup game so it's a nice wee break from the league. We'll take it seriously and try to win the game but it's also an opportunity for boys to get minutes that need minutes
