In the third round of the Scottish Cup, Braidhurst were to play Falkirk High at home.   The boys were looking to book a place in the 4^th round and do it in style against Falkirk.   The game started off at a fast pace with Braidhurst passing the ball quickly around the pitch looking for a space to exploit.   Jack Simpson looked dangerous early on as he broke through the defence.   The deadlock was finally broken on 9 minutes, when after hard work by the midfield and an accurate pass through, Jack Simpson fired the ball past the keeper to make it 1-0.   Now with Falkirk already behind they had to push forward to try and score an equaliser as they were sitting very deep.   The opponents were unable to cope with the continual attacks from the strikers and midfield and in the 12^th minutes, Jack Simpson added a second.   At 2-0 the boys settled more into the game and continued to pass it around the park making Falkirk chase the ball.   On the 20^th minute Reece Geddes scored to make it 3-0.   This was closely followed by a 3^rd goal for Jack Simpson in the 30^th minute.   Jack now had three and the Falkirk defence decided to double mark him to try and stop the threat.   This created gaps between the CB’s and the full backs and Lewis Guy took advantage of this to score his first goal of the game in the 31^st minute.   Not wanting to be outdone by his follow winger, Nathaniel Black scored a goal from an acute angle outside of the box to make it 6-0.  Lewis Guy was determined to add to his total and on the 53^rd minute he scored again to make it 7-0.   Although the game was well out of the reach of Falkirk they continued to press and after Jack and Reece both coming off injured, they finally made a break through; the score was now 7-1.   The loss of the clean sheet annoyed the Braidy boys and they continued to press for more goals.   In the last 5 minutes of the game Robbie Bryden burst forward from midfield to score two to bring the score to 9-1.   Well done to all the boys who played in the game and to those who were unable to play but came to help and support from the sidelines.   The boys now look forward their 4^th round match.
