MUSSELBURGH Athletic eased to a comfortable cup victory over Easthouses Lily last night (Tuesday).
The two sides met in the third round of the East of Scotland Qualifying Cup and it was the East Lothian side going through to set up a tie with Camelon.
Three goals in five minutes had Musselburgh firmly in control in the first half as Aiden Walsh, Nicky Reid and Jonny Court found the net.

Former Raith Rovers man Court made it 4-0 before Reid scored his second of the night and Walsh netted on half time.
The visitors pulled one back from the penalty spot three minutes into the second half before Court completed his hat-trick just minutes later.
The frontman made it 8-1 before the hour mark before Easthouses again pulled one back.
The final goal of the evening came in spectacular fashion when Matthew Knox fired home a free-kick.
