Mets sides stumble into quarter finals of Scottish Cup
Posted on 24th January 2012
Both Mets sides drew their South Ayrshire counter-parts in the 1st round proper of the Scottish Cup.
Mets first team managed to overcome South Ayrshire I by 3 sets to nil despite an ankle ligament injury sustained to outside hitter Alan Milton. With no substitutes this saw Mets effectively play with 5 players for 3 sets - no mean feat against a South Ayrshire team who have been performing well in their first year in the premier division.
Mets second team, playing against third division opposition South Ayrshire II made hard work of their victory with signs of complacency from the outset after their 5 sets to nil victory over Belshill II.
A dogged performance by the Ayrshire side saw them push Mets to a fifth set. The fifth set was a bridge too far as Mets ran out 15-3 winners to seal a spot in the quarter finals of the cup.
