Irvine Meadow reach League Cup third round with 3-0 win

The North Ayrshire outfit made their way into the League Cup third round on Saturday with a 3-0 win over fellow WoSFL Premier Division high-flyers Glenafton.

First half goals from Mark Taylor and Danny Wilson put the visitors in command before a Euan Baird penalty midway through the second period saw Meadow avenge their league defeat against the same opponents earlier this season.

McKim said: “It couldn’t have gone much better, to be fair, but, as well as we played, we let them off a wee bit in the last 10 minutes.

“We were brilliant, the overall performance was excellent, we pressed the game really well and were dominant in possession.

“The last 10 minutes, especially when they go down to 10 men, we should have been more dominant and let the scoreline reflect the game.

“The one blemish is we should have scored more goals because I thought four or five would have reflected the game more on the balance of play.”

McKim also praised his side's solid defensive effort as they earned their eighth clean sheet of the campaign.

He added: “Defensively, we pressed the game well and, behind it, Jack Wilson and Ben Ferguson were brilliant at centre back.

“They two with Joe Wilton behind them and [Kieran] Brophy in front has created a solid base for us in the last few weeks.

“It’s let the other players focus on the attack and the clean sheet was pleasing.”

The Meadow boss said his side need to keep striving for better if they want to keep moving forward.

He continued: “It’s showing that there is still work to be done and we could be more ruthless, that’s how you improve.

“No matter what the scoreline is, you’re trying to pick improvements from it, the boys understand that.

“We all know that we can keep working and keep improving. When you look at our game against Glenafton at the start of the season and then you look at Saturday, you can see the difference.

“When you keep working and keep improving, that’s the outcome. We’re in the best form we’ve been in, the last two games in the strongest we’ve performed.

“It’s just a case of keeping that up, I’m delighted with the form at the moment, if we can keep that up we’ll not go far wrong.”

Next up for Meadow is a home league clash against Cumbernauld United on Saturday, November 14.
