Rossvale Huntershill booked their place in the Premier League Cup Final with an impressive 3–1 victory over Glasgow Island at Greenfield Sports Centre, delivering a performance built on discipline, composure, and clinical moments when it mattered most.

The opening half showcased Rossvale’s defensive strength. Organised at the back and difficult to break down, they limited Island’s opportunities while quietly creating a few chances of their own. Despite their efforts, the breakthrough remained elusive going into the break—but the intent was clear.
That intent paid off almost immediately in the second half.
Just two minutes after the restart, Jack Caldwell fired Rossvale ahead following a cleverly worked short corner routine. It was a goal that reflected both preparation and precision, giving Rossvale the momentum they had been building.

Rossvale continued to press, and shortly after the hour mark, their dominance was rewarded again. A slick passing move down the right-hand side carved open the opposition before the ball was cut back perfectly to Luke Kimmins at the penalty spot, who made no mistake with the finish to double the lead.

Island’s responded with resilience, pulling a goal back minutes later after a high cross caused problems in the Rossvale box. The ball wasn’t fully cleared and fell kindly to their attacker just six yards out, setting up a tense final stretch.
Both sides enjoyed spells of possession as the game opened up, but Rossvale showed composure under pressure. Then, with just five minutes remaining, they delivered the final blow. A rapid counter-attack surged up the pitch before the ball broke to Kieron Redmond at the penalty spot, who smashed a low finish into the net to seal the victory in style.

A standout performance came from Jack Caldwell, whose influence on the game earned him a well-deserved Man of the Match award.

With this win, Rossvale Huntershill now turn their attention to the final, where they will face Toryglen Thistle. The match carries added significance, as it marks a repeat of last season’s Jim Harvey Cup Final—a rematch filled with history, rivalry, and the promise of another thrilling contest.
Rossvale are just one step away from lifting the trophy. If this performance is anything to go by, they will head into the final full of confidence and belief.
