A brace from Dylan Kerr was enough to ensure that Braidhurst High School progressed to the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup at the expense of Nicolson Institute. The first-half was a tightly contested affair with chances few and far between but Braidhurst would take a one goal advantage heading into half-time. From twenty yards out, Dylan scored with an excellent long range strike that left the keeper with no chance. The second followed soon after the restart, an Alex Lowry corner-kick falling kindly to Dylan who fired into the roof of the net with his left foot. Craig Campbell was unlucky not to make it 3-0 to the hosts after his first time strike hit the bar but the match would end 2-0 to Braidhurst. Mr Clarke and Mr O’Toole were delighted that the Under 15s have now progressed further than the previous two years and the squad can now look forward to an away tie hoping to secure a place in the semi-finals.
