Great action but no shocks in the quarter-finals

Scottish Cup medal

There were no shocks in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup although there was an avalanche of goals, especially in the men`s competition.

The only all-first division clash between Grange and PSL Clydesdale ended with the league leaders rattling in 11 against the Glasgow side. Frank Ryan was top scorer with four and Luke Cranney notched a hat-trick, but coach David Knipe singled out Todd Mills as the man-of-the-match despite the fact that he did not find the net himself.

Scotland striker Ian Moodie was on fire with four goals in Edinburgh University`s 6-2 win over second division Dundee Wanderers at Peffermill, the other goals came from Peter McKnight and Antonis Efthymiou. Ross Glashan and Tom Cole replied for the Taysiders.

Grove Menzieshill were far too strong for second division Granite City Wanderers and came away with an 8-1 victory. There were six different individual scorers but Ciaran Crawford and Jamie Golden both picked up doubles.

Holders Bromac Kelburne rattled in 20 without reply against FMGM Monarchs, but ironically the man-of-the-match was Dundee goalkeeper Sean Thomson, but for a string of fine saves the score might have been much higher. Nonetheless both Lee Morton and Jack McKenzie scored four while Jonus Nommensen and Johnny Christie picked up hat-tricks.

The top women`s match of the quarter-finals was on Tayside, joint league leaders Grove Menzieshill triumphed 2-1 against Wildcats in a close encounter. Sarah Jamieson and Dollar schoolgirl Jenny Walls were on target for the Dundonians.

Dundee Wanderers were two up at the interval against Kelburne, Sam Sangster and Amy Snelle were on target, the Paisley side came back with a goal in the second half but not enough to save the tie.

Grange, the only lower league team left in the competition, foundered 5-1 against league leaders Milne Craig Western at Titwood. Millie Brown scored twice for the home side with Fiona Bruce, Ali Howie and Frances Lonergan getting the others.

Holders Edinburgh University progressed safely into the semi-final draw after a seven goal defeat of Hillhead, there were two goals each for Amy Brodie and Kirsten Peters.
