St Ambrose started the livelier side as it took St Ninian\u2019s a while to settle into the game. Once St Ninian\u2019s found their feet, there was no real doubt in the final result. Connor Gillan opened the scoring in the sixteenth minute with a header after a Matthew Reilly free kick found him at the back post. The second goal came from a Lewis Smith cross which was deflected to the back post where Roan Fitzpatrick was waiting to convert it goal wards off the underside of the crossbar. Following the second goal St Ninian\u2019s took control of the game and dominated possession. They made this possession count when again, Lewis Smith delivered a great cross and Matthew Coyle was able to head it into the net. St Ninian\u2019s then made a few inspired substitutions which immediately paid off with goals from Oscar Sibille and Sonny Innes.<\/p>\n<p>A massive well done to all of the boys who are\u00a0enshrined in St Ninian\u2019s folklore and will be able to treasure these memories forever.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Boyle (4a10), Alex MacDonald (4a10), Martin Cassells (4a7), Matthew Coyle (4a6), Ryan\u00a0Donnelly (5a8),\u00a0Ronan Fox (4a5), Roan Fitzpatrick (4a8), Connor Gillan (4a7), Umayr Hussain (4a3), Sonny Innes (4a9),\u00a0\u00a0Matthew McGrath (4a6), Craig McKeegan (4a5), Michael O\u2019Neil (4a2), Matthew Reilly (4a10), Stephen Shaw (4a1), Oscar Sibile (4a5), Lewis Smith (4a6), Declan Walsh (4a6).<\/p>\n<p>Photos from the game can be viewed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/112203407@N03\/albums\/72157667530057762\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to St Ninian\u2019s High School U16 football team who won the U16 Scottish Schools\u2019 Football Association Scottish Shield after a\u00a05-0 victory over\u00a0St Ambrose\u00a0High School on Tuesday 26 April.\u00a0 This is the\u00a0second<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/st-ninians-u16s-win-their-second-scottish-shield\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8506,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-latest-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8506"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13264"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13264\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13274,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13264\/revisions\/13274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/StNinians\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
