Cowdenbeath Central 3–0 Ormiston Primrose
Cowdenbeath Central progressed to the next round of the South Region Challenge Cup with a convincing 3–0 victory over Ormiston Primrose at Venters Park.
Central produced a strong team performance, controlling large spells of the game while remaining disciplined defensively to secure another clean sheet.
Three goals in quick succession before the break put Central firmly in control.
Brandyn Coventry opened the scoring after some excellent play down the right-hand side released Ryan Yapoudjian one-on-one with the Ormiston full-back. Ryan got the better of his man before cutting the ball back to Coventry on the edge of the box, who calmly guided his finish into the far corner.
Shortly afterwards, it was Kris Kelly causing problems on the opposite flank. Kelly cut inside before getting his shot away, with a deflection wrong-footing the goalkeeper and doubling the home side's advantage.
Central added a third right on half-time, with Kelly involved again. He found Glen Young on the overlap, whose cut-back fell perfectly for Connor Spence. The striker made no mistake, continuing his excellent goalscoring run and sending Central into the break 3–0 ahead.
The second half saw Central manage the game well, remaining organised and seeing out the victory to secure their place in the next round.
Manager’s Comments 🎙️
"Really pleased with the boys today. Cup games are all about getting yourself into the next round, and we've managed to do that with a good performance, three goals and a clean sheet.
I thought we controlled large parts of the game and showed good patience when we had the ball.
On a personal note, I'm disappointed to have been dismissed today. I was frustrated with a decision where, in my opinion, we were denied a stonewall penalty for handball. Emotions were running high and I showed my frustration. Regardless of how strongly I felt about the decision, I could have handled the situation better and I apologise to the lads for letting them down in that moment.
We probably could have been a little more clinical with some of the opportunities we created, but overall there are plenty of positives to take from the performance.
It's also pleasing to have three different goalscorers and to keep another clean sheet.
Everyone played their part today and the attitude from the boys was spot on. It's been a good couple of weeks for us, so long may that continue."
