Westside knocked out Sunday Premier Division league rivals Wallyford Bluebell 3-0 to reach the last 16 of the Only Sport Sunday East of Scotland Amateur Cup.

The Premier Division leaders were 2-1 winners when they met earlier in the season on league duty and proved to be too strong for their hosts once again at Portobello High School.

Jason McGuiness and Ross Forrest both missed chances for the visitors early on, before they took the lead after 15 minutes when a Scott Thomson free-kick sneaked under the home goalkeeper.

Westside weren’t at their best in the opening period, with Bluebell well in the tie, however the visitors stepped it up a level after the interval with Brian Baillie and Bryan Ferry both on target.

Ross Parkin was inches away from number two with his effort from close range striking the post.

They did eventually kill off any hopes of a comeback when Ryan McMurdo crossed for Liam Currie to finish well.

Crucial to Villa’s victory was the performance of centre back Arron Robertson who put in a terrific showing to earn their man of the match award.
