Under 14 Scottish Cup 4th Round

Braidhurst Under 14s travelled to Cumbernauld to play their Scottish Cup 4th round tie against an impressive Our Lady’s High School side that had put out the holders in the previous round. The visitors started brightly and should have gone in front with both Max Johnston and Grant Mudd coming close to opening the scoring. The hosts grew stronger throughout the first half and thanks to a terrific save from Ryan Renwick the game remained goalless at half-time. The deadlock was broken soon after the restart as Robbie Brown finished from close range with a well taken goal. Debutant Dylan Campbell doubled his side’s advantage with a superb effort – a left footed volley from well outside the penalty area that flew into the top corner. By this time Braidhurst were firmly in control of the game and another strike from Robbie – this time a brave header – virtually wrapped the game up at 3-0. Kyle Semple – a standout performer – and Cameron Williamson added a further two goals both direct from free kicks to ensure their side would progress into the 5th round as 5-0 winners. Mr O’Toole and Mr Clarke once again were delighted with the result and commended their performance. The Under 14s now face another away day against either Grange High School or Johnstone High School.
