On Friday afternoon the Braidhurst boys under 15 team made yet another away trip, slightly further this time, to Linlithgow Academy.

The deadlock was broken after 30 minutes when Josh Payne broke forward and played an inch perfect through ball from Josh Moore to finish.   This was exactly what Braidhurst needed to settle the nerves.

The remainder of the first half was relatively subdued with neither side having any clear cut chances.

7 minutes into the second half Josh Moore got his second with another close range effort after some one touch passing opened up the Linlithgow defence and allowed Scott Schoneville to cut the ball back.

The game was put well and truly beyond Linlithgow 10 minutes from the end when Braidhurst got their third and final goal.   This time it came from central midfielder Robbie Watson.   It was thoroughly deserved after yet another tireless performance from Robbie.

This result sees Braidhurst into the last 16 where they will take on either North Berwick or Cardinal Newman.   Neither tie will be met with complacency; however, going by this performance Braidhurst should have every confidence in themselves.
