For, five days after celebrating winning the Black Rooster M and M Trophy with a 2-0 final win over Eastfield at Falkirk Stadium last Wednesday, Colville qualified for the Scottish Amateur Cup final by thrashing Hurlford 6-1 at Hamilton on Monday night.

Delighted Colville Park match secretary Andy Williamson told the Times and Speaker: “It was nice to win our first trophy of the season in the M and M final and hopefully it won’t be the last one.

“It was a good victory for us because Eastfield are a very decent side.

“We won the trophy in 2013 and 2017 and it is nice to win it again.

“It was also great beating Hurlford in the Scottish semi-final.

“We’re through to the final against Eastfield or Alba Thistle on May 26.
