All hands to the pump for Pace as they head into King Cup final

The Denny side travelled to the Clayton Caravan Park Recreation Ground for the semi-final of the competition on the back of a 3-1 loss at the weekend against Glenrothes on First Division duty, and the prospect of facing Robbie Raeside’s promotion hopefuls made for a tough tie.

But, a strong defensive display from a depleted Pace was enough to seal their place in the final, with defender Galloway banishing the side’s shocking spot-kick record too – by holding his nerve to slot home in the 93rd minute after a handball was given in the box.

During last Saturday’s loss, David Morrison missed a key penalty kick at 2-1 to the hosts, in what has been a recurring theme for Dunipace this campaign.
