No way through for Central League striker Lloyd Callander (Eddlewood) as he's crowded out by SAFL keeper Chris Lamb (Busby), Scott McAuslin (Duncanrig) and Keith Millar (Oban Saints).

The SAFL took a two goal lead with a double from Paul McWhirter (Campbeltown Pupils), in this John Smith's Inter League Trophy match played at Brandon Park, Bellshill on Sunday 12th October, 2008. The Central League replied with goals from Nicky Reid (2) and Kevin Haldane before the interval to make the score 3-2 The Scottish side played well in the second half and dominated play for long periods and should have equalised, when they were awarded a penalty but Paul McWhirter's spot kick was saved by keeper David McKegney and Central held out to win a very entertaining match by the odd goal in five. The other Oban Saints players in the SAFL squad were Myles McAuley and Dante Lopez. The next game for the Scottish side is against Ayrshire and will be held on November 9 at Northolm Park, Giffnock.
