Troon 2012s 2 Largs Colts 2012s 4

Largs Colts 2012s continued their winning start to the season with a battling win against Troon Thistle and the elements with Jayden McCubbin notching an impressive hat trick.

From the moment Troon won the toss and opted to play with the wind at their back, the first half was always going to be a challenge. 

Despite the conditions, the boys played some really good football in the opening 35 minutes and only the combination of two wind assisted strikes and wasteful finishing from Largs made the score 2-1 at the interval. 

Jayden McCubbin scored the first-half Largs goal after an incisive burst from Cullin McLaughlin.

Playing with the wind in the second half, Largs laid siege to the Troon goal and although the equaliser had a touch of good fortune about it, when a Troon defender sliced a corner into his own net, the Troon goal had lived a charmed life up to that point with Largs hitting the woodwork on several occasions.

Jayden McCubbin put Largs ahead when he robbed a defender and slammed home following a defensive mixup and completed his hat trick moments later with a fine finish into the top corner.
