League One Accies were in fine scoring form at K-Park to see off their South Lanarkshire neighbours
Holders Hamilton Accies continued their SPFL Trust Trophy defence by erasing past Lowland League leaders East Kilbride.
In the second half, a fine effort from Nathan Flangan added to Kilby's tally before MacDonald grabbed his second of the day to seal the win 10 minutes from time. Four minutes in, Hamilton created the first opportunity of the game when a through ball from Scott Martin cut the Kilby defence wide open, but Hewitt lacked composure and skewed his strike high and wide of the target.
Kilby are capable of playing some silky football and one such move on the edge of the Accies box almost pulled a goal back on the half hour mark. Winger Flanagan, Andy Stirling and Dylan McDonald all combined with some crisp passing before Stirling's strike forced Fulton to tip his strike over the crossbar.
The hosts' heads could really have gone down after that but they reduced the deficit eight minutes into the second half with another outstanding finish. Flanagan worked his way towards goal and from the angle of the box, curled a superb strike into the far corner beyond a helpless Fulton for 4-2.
