Troon ran out comfortable winners after a strong second half, but in a basketball-style first half the score could have ended up anything at the interval.

It was the Buffs who started the stronger, Burgess keeping out a Collins effort before Gavin Millar later put the hosts in the lead with a neat finish from good build-up play. Logan Smith was first to threaten for Troon, denied at a corner, before Burgess set Sam Jamieson scampering away on 23 minutes, and he fed Jaime Gallagher to score his first goal for the club with a back-post header. The end to end nature continued, with a good run from Ben Lewis setting up a chance which Thomas Collins was only happy to convert just 2 minutes later, slipping the ball under Burgess. The Troon keeper saved his side from going further behind a couple of minutes later, tipping a Gavin Millar effort over the bar, before strong running from Jamieson nearly forced Gordon into a mistake, but the former Rossvale keeper did well to get back & clear. Ben Black looked certain to equalise, but could only watch as his effort crept past the post, before former Kilwinning man McCloskey found space after a corner to collect a Sherrie pass & rifle it home into the bottom corner.

HALF-TIME: KILWINNING RANGERS 2-2 TROON F.C.

The end to end nature of the first half couldn’t possibly be repeated, and it was Troon who settled into control. The Troon midfield of McCloskey, Montgomerie &        Gallacher were creating chances, but Troon still had to rely on Burgess to keep out Mackin just before the hour mark. A double change inspired the Seasiders, and it was one of those subs who scored the decisive goal on 69 minutes, Dale Moore clearing the defence & firing home from an acute angle after great work from Kyle Gilroy, who could even have made it four at the death.

Two cracking performances in the league this season from Troon, Clydebank next at Portland Park.
