I’d only visited Kilwinning Rangers for a game here at Kilwinning Community Sports Club in March last year, but with their Buffs Park pitch currently having work done, this was played on the adjacent Ian Cashmore Memorial Park, home to West of Scotland Division 3 club Eglinton. It’s a one sided caged pitch as far as spectators go and has a pair of dugouts on the far side. Food and drink were available from ‘The Dug Oot’ which is behind the near goal end, with toilets available at the changing room building at the top of the complex, next to the car park.

The match was Lowland League West versus West of Scotland League Division 3 and not surprisingly went the way of the far higher level team. A header from a corner on the right saw Kilwinning go ahead after twenty minutes and they doubled their lead two minutes later, following in after an initial shot was spilled by the ‘keeper. The third goal arrived six minutes later, when a one-two was finished with a shot that went in off the far post. A minute before halftime they made it 4-0, sending a diagonal cross from the right back over the ‘keeper with a looping header into the far corner. Although Kilwinning hit the crossbar with a header early in the second half, they didn’t get their fifth goal until nine minutes from the end, with an angled shot that went right under the ‘keeper.

With the game finished by 12.41 there was ample time to head off for a second game.
