hard-fought cup tie saw Port Glasgow Boys Club emerge victorious with a 2-1 win on Saturday , overcoming both their opponents and treacherous conditions.

It was a day for battling spirit over beautiful football, and the home side delivered when it mattered most.

The deadlock was broken by a moment of magic from Jamie Curran, who put PGBC 1-0 up with a well-taken goal that sent the home crowd at Parklea crazyz

However, the lead was short-lived as the visitors from Dundee were awarded a penalty, which they duly converted to level the score at 1-1.

But PGBC showed their resilience, and it wasn’t long before they regained the lead. Bradley Anderson was the hero, finding the back of the net to make it 2-1, a goal that ultimately proved to be the winner.

“Horrible game in the conditions mate, just happy to go through,” commented a visibly relieved manager after the final whistle. Indeed, the weather played a significant role, turning the pitch into a quagmire and making fluent football a near impossibility.

Despite the challenging circumstances, Port Glasgow Boys Club dug deep and secured their passage into the next round of the cup. While not a performance for the purists, it was a testament to their character and determination.

Here’s to hoping for better weather – and another win – in the next round of the Scottish Cup for Port Glasgow Boys Club.
