Rob Roy coining it in after cup victory
A BRILLIANT goalkeeping display from Renfrew's Dean Sexton kept Rabs scoring tally to two, which was a scant reward for the Adamslie Park side who completely dominated for lengthy periods.

Rabs began the match on the attack, with Lennox bringing out a fine save from Sexton before Murray headed an Anderson cross over the bar.
In the home side's first raid, McLean's header soared over.
Sexton was by far the busier of the keepers. In the 16th minute, he did well to hold Anderson's low cross before making a super stop to prevent Feroz from putting Rabs ahead.
At the other end, Bell was forced to tip a Forbes shot over the bar.
Eight minutes before the break Feroz crashed a shot against the bar and Murray, could only head over with the goal at his mercy.
On the stroke of half-time, Sexton tipped Feroz's looping header onto the bar following a dangerous Anderson cross.
The second period started with Rabs firmly in control. MacKay shot wide before Sexton punched away a cross from the same player.
Renfrew were now under the cosh and the Rabs goal finally arrived in the 57th minute after Sexton had parried a Feroz strike around the post. Anderson sent an inswinging corner into a crowded goalmouth where Lennox stooped to head the ball into the net.
Murray dispossessed Currie in midfield and sent Anderson clear in the penalty box, but again Sexton brought out a superb reflex save to prevent a certain goal.
However, in the 71st minute, Rabs doubled their lead. Anderson chased a loose ball to the by-line before sending over a neat cross to give substitute McGowan, only on for less than a minute, a simple chance to slip the ball home at the near post.
The latter stages of the game was played with Rabs encamped in the Renfrew half. The home side's hard-pressed defence had no answer to the pace of Rabs wing wizard Grant Anderson.
Rob Roy had chances to increase their lead but were denied by some poor finishing and fine goalkeeping.
Rob Roy: Bell, Carter, Sheridan (Maxwell 57), MacDonald, Lennox, Carberry, Anderson, Murray, Feroz (McGowan 70), McQuilken, MacKay (Mills 76). Subs not used; Wilson, Ward, Muir, Wardle.
