Last Gasp Lochee Earn Cup Replay

Last updated : 17 December 2008 By honestman

The long awaited Cup tie between Ayr United and Lochee United finally went ahead today at Thompson Park.

Ayr team line-up for the match was:

Stephen Grindlay

Dean Keenan
Scott Walker
Murray Henderson
Neil McGowan

Ryan Borris
Ryan Stevenson
Chris Aitken
Scott Agnew

Alex Williams
David Gormley

Subs:

Bryan Prunty
Willie Easton
Allan Dempsie
Paul Weaver
Fraser Stewart


The pitch had been deemed playable yesterday and Ayr made their way to Dundee first thing for the 1.30 kick off.

When the game did finally start it took Ayr an hour to break down the tight Lochee defence when Alex Williams scored.

United pressed for the clinching goal but nerves began to show as the game went on. Plucky junior side Lochee managed to take full advantage and Philip Hagan equalised for the Dundee outfit in 86 minutes to clinch a well earned draw and replay at Ayr's Somerset Park.
