Scottish Cup Semi-Final

Braidhurst under 14’s took on St. Andrew’s Secondary on Monday evening at Somervell Park, home of Cambuslang Rangers, in the Scottish Cup Semi-Final. Both teams were cheered on by a sizeable crowd and it wasn’t long before the deadlock was broken, with Braidhurst unfortunately getting off to the worst possible start. A corner failed to be cleared and the ball was fired home from close range, putting St. Andrew’s into a one goal lead. Chances were few and far between, but from another corner – this time for Braidhurst – Adam Kettings looped a header over the keeper to equalise and keep the tie level going into the break. After the restart, Alistair Small won his side a penalty which Mason Kelman converted at the second time of asking, with the St. Andrew’s goalkeeper having made a terrific save. Braidhurst were now firmly in control and put the game beyond doubt when Adam scored his second of the game, rounding the keeper and slotting into an empty net. The game ended 3-1 with Mr Clarke and Mr O’Toole delighted at the outcome and performance from the team. The boys now have a Scottish Cup Final to look forward to against St. Ninian’s High School from Giffnock.
