Cupar Eagles lined up for the game against the Drunken Masters without Youth Academy starlet Gary Pryce but Halley rose from his sick bed after a bout of food poisoning to make the starting six.
Eagles started brightly and only a succession of fine saves from the opposion keeper prevented an early Eagles counter. After this Masters seemed to settle better in the wind swept conditions and pushed the ball about to greater effect. The opening goal arrived midway through the first half for the Masters when McGregor was beaten from close range and a second and third was lost before half time.
Eagles regrouped for the second half and Martin came close with a rasping twenty yard effort. Beauchope then spurned a great opportunity when played in by Marshall. Masters scored a fourth late on as the Eagles legs tired and a fifth was conceded right at the death as the Eagles heads were now firmly down.
