The first half was a poor half with little goalmouth action. Sparta were unlucky not to take the lead when Andy McIntyre leapt like a tuna at the back post, only to see his header come off the bar.

When Sparta did take the lead, there was a touch of good fortune to it. Paddy Kelly played a hopeful high ball into the box, and a breakdown in communication between the FPC defender and goalkeeper let Joe Condron through, and he fired the ball home.

After the break, Sparta extended their lead through player-manager Charlie Kirkwood. Rab Stirling was brought down outside the box, and Charlie curled the ball around the defensive wall and into the net.

Sparta made it 3-0 after a composed finish from Ruairidh Grenfell. Sparta's fourth was a touch controversial. The ball was played in towards the keeper, who fumbled under pressure. With the FPC defence appealing to the referee, Rab Stirling finished.

The final goal from Sparta came after good work from Marcos Aranda. He took the ball past two defenders before being brought down. The FPC defence stopped, assuming that a foul would be awarded. However, the referee played advantage, and Charlie Kirkwood scored his second of the afternoon as a result. Fir Park Corner's consolation came after a good move on the counter attack.

A good second half performance by Sparta was enough to secure the points. Thanks to Piglet and the FPC team for making the trip through from Motherwell.
