Four seasons in, and this is the point of the campaign where the noise drops away.

February is the month where matches tighten, margins shrink, and players are judged less on style and more on whether the job actually gets done.

This week’s Hugh Dunnit XI reflects that exactly. Reliable performances, clear decisions, and moments that mattered when games were in the balance.

Goalkeeper

Aidan McIlwane (Lokomotiv)

An assist from between the sticks and key saves at pivotal moments. Goalkeepers earn their keep in February, and McIlwane influenced the game at both ends.

Defence

David Connolly (RHU Colts)

Out of position and unfazed. Disciplined defensively and still found a way to contribute going forward.

Fin Dunne (River Nevis)

A commanding display capped by a last-minute goal-line clearance. That single moment justified the selection.

Finlay Anderson (Glasgow Island)

Another dependable showing. Trusted, composed, and part of a defence that did what it needed to do.

Cammy Quinn (Cambuslang FA)

Solid in the tackle and vocal throughout. A leadership performance without unnecessary risk.

Midfield

Adam Daniel (RHU Colts)

The calming presence. Positioned well, always available, and kept things ticking without fuss.

Lewis Hobbs (Third Lanark AFC)

Four second-half assists tell their own story. When the game needed moving forward, he delivered.

Ross Easton (Clydebank SMFC)

Set-piece quality, goals, assists. Direct contributions that turn tight games.

Attack

Mo Bengjellabe (Greater Croftpark Rose)

A constant problem for defenders. Productive, involved, and difficult to play against.

Jamie Curran (Port Glasgow BC)

Captain, match-winner, and Man of the Match. Two goals and responsibility carried properly.

Jay Nelson (Toryglen Thistle)

A hat-trick from midfield areas. End product when pressure was on.

Hugh Dunnit’s View

This isn’t about highlights or headlines.

It’s about players who stood up when the season demanded it. February football doesn’t reward passengers — it rewards reliability, decision-making, and nerve.

This XI showed all three. No shortcuts.

No fuss. Just jobs done.
