The youngsters crashed out of the Scottish Youth Cup to a slick Livingston side on the fieldturf at Almondve tonight.

The West Lothian side found themselves two goals up after just six minutes with an own goal following a corner after four minutes and a second from Dean CUMMINGS with a long range shot minutes later.

The home side went further ahead midway through the first half when Mark McNULTY sent a curling shot from the edge of the box into the top corner.

Eight minutes from the interval we found ourselves down to ten men when King was sent off after retaliating after being fouled by Cummings.

A minute later we did however reduce the deficit when Derek WALLACE slotted home a penalty after O’Brien was fouled in the box.

Any thoughts of a comeback were quickly dashed however with a further two Livi goals just before the interval.

McNULTY went on a good run and fired home via the post and right on the whistle Neil HASTINGS sent a curling 20 yard free kick around the wall and into the net.

The second half was barely a minute old when Connor SCOTT, son of former Central Parker Colin Scott, fired home a sixth goal with a long range effort.

McNULTY completed his hat trick midway through the second period before Dean BRETT grabbed our second goal with ten minutes to go.

However a minute later CUMMINGS added another goal for the home side.
