Kelburne and Edinburgh University progress to Scottish Cup Final
Bromac Kelburne and Edinburgh University will contest the Men’s Scottish Cup final after respective wins over Grove Menzieshill and PSL Team Sport Clydesdale.
Earlier in the day, Falkirk GHG defeated Erskine Stewart’s Melville FP, while Granite City Wanderers comfortably eased past Stirling University, to both reach the Men’s Scottish Plate Final.
Men’s Scottish Cup
A tense and scrappy affair between Bromac Kelburne and Grove Menzieshill went to penalties after the two sides finished seventy minutes level at 1-1.
Gavin Tomlinson had given the Taysiders the lead in the 40th minute from a penalty stroke, but Lee Morton struck the equalising goal shortly before full-time to take the match to the penalty lottery.
Josh Cairns kept his cool to score a decisive penalty stroke after Iain Scholefield was illegally upended during his penalty effort.
Edinburgh University had an easier task in the second semi-final, defeating PSL Team Sport Clydesdale 5-1.
Two goals each for Dan Coultas and Tom Kemsley, in addition to a Chris Duncan strike, gave the students a four goal winning margin.
A fizzing drag-flick from Chris McFadden was the consolation goal for the Titwood outfit.
Men’s Scottish Plate
Falkirk GHG battled back from two goals down against Erskine Stewart’s Melville to force a penalty shoot-out, in which they triumphed 3-0.
Richard Wright and Dan Hodgkin had given the capital side a 2-0 lead, only to be pegged back by late goals from Cameron Scott and Murray Paton.
In the second semi-final, Granite City Wanderers were too strong for Stirling University, winning 9-1.
A hat-trick from Neil Morton-Lloyd, a brace from Stuart Begg, added to goals from John Graham, Steven Beattie, Andrew McLaren and Andy Todd put the Aberdonians into the final.
Liam Witt got the uni’s goal.
