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.
