Pollok went nap in their Scottish Cup 3^rd round replay against Glasgow Perthshire at Newlandsfield Park, defeating their visiting city rivals 5-0. The home side wasted little time in putting their opponents to the sword, Bryan Wharton heading home from a flag-kick in the 3^rd minute.

Stuart McCann, who netted in the first game, got his name on the scoresheet again in the 21^st minute with a thumping finish that left Chris Calder flat-footed. ?Shire were reduced to ten-men in the early part of the second period, Lee McLelland simulation deemed worthy of a second booking.

Two minutes later Nicky Prentice made the numerical advantage pay, finding space in the visitors? area to blast a third goal in from close range. The homesters were given a chance to atone for the previous week?s spot-kick woes when Stuart McCann was clipped by Calder. Stef McCluskey, making his return to action after a spell of inactivity through injury, sent Calder the wrong way to make it 4-0.

The scoring was completed in the 80^th minute, the ball falling to Paul Byrne at the edge of the box to finish sumptuously in the postage stamp corner.
