Kilgraston crowned Midland schools’ champions

Kilgraston was crowned Midland senior schools’ champions for the first time, with Scotland internationalist Emily Dark scoring a sensational solo effort in the final against Dollar Academy.

The team followed up a goalless draw against Strathallan with Dark scoring two and Corrie Hay striking to take them through to the semis with victory over Dundee High before Morrison’s Academy was undone in an identical manner.

Having lost out to Dollar in the second round of the Scottish U18 Cup 24 hours earlier, Kilgraston gained revenge with an impressive performance rounded off when Dark picked up the ball on the half way line before carving her way through the opposition to change the game with a superb reverse strike to the far post.

Fittingly the trophy presentation was made by Kilgraston former pupil Katie Robertson who has recently been inducted into the GB Elite Development Programme.
