Musselburgh Windsor were crowned champions of the Inspiresport Scottish Youth FA Cup at Under 15s level with a 3-2 win over Tynecastle in a pulsating game of football for the supporters, neutral, officials and players involved in this contest.

Tynecastle beat Broxburn Whites, Spartans Youth, Aston Villa, Giffnock North, Burntisland Shipyard, Glenvale and AFC Glasgow whilst Musselburgh dispatched of Hillfield Swifts, Hutchison Vale Colts, Caledonian, Blantyre, Kilsyth and Dyce BC.

Musselburgh threatened early on in the game with Robert Hunter playing a nice diagonal ball out wide which was met by Tyler Pryde who then broke into the danger area and sent a lovely ball into the box however nobody was on the end of the cross and Tynecastle dealt with the ball with ease.

Tynecastle had the first real chance of the game, the Maroons were patient in their play during the opening exchanges of the game however seen a release in the Windsor defence to try and break an opening, Murray Connolly found Charlie Nairn however a half volley by the forward went over the bar.

A Musselburgh attack on nine minutes almost resulted in the opening goal of the match after a fantastic ball from the right hand side came into a dangerous area in which Jacob Shyngle pulled the trigger from 12 yards however his own player Robert Hunter blocked the ball on the goalline before a header by Josh Murray was saved by Josh Philp.

Tynecastle took the lead on 10 minutes, a fantastic ball came into the box by Corin Brown which troubled the Windsor defence in which Sam Hood parried the ball away but only came into the pathway of Callum Todd 12 yards out who kept his composure with a lovely finish past the jam packed goal line beating Hood and his Musselburgh defence, Windsor had threatened on a few occasions prior to the attack however Tynecastle played some great football on the counter attack which paid off in the end.

Musselburgh pressed again in search of an equaliser, Daniel Combe doing well to get apart of his Tynecastle counterpart however a good effort from the winger hitting the side netting, Combe had done well for Windsor and looked a danger when he got on the ball, Windsor went forward more times than Tynecastle did in the opening 20 minutes of the game however didn't produce much quality in the forward ranks compared to Tynecastle with the Maroons taking their chance when it mattered.

The,last period of the first half was quite subdued in terms of chances however Musselburgh continued to try and get themselves back into the game with Tyler Pryde having a chance from just inside the box going wide of the right hand post, at the Tynecastle goal kick, the ball came into the path of Charlie Nairn who then curled in a good ball from the left hand side and the ball came into Koren Brown who volleyed at goal however regardless, was denied by an offside call from the linesman.

Musselburgh equalised on 36 minutes with Evan Fleming and Josh Murray linking up very well together, Murray put the ball out wide into the feet of Fleming who ran up the wing before sending in a fantastic ball which was met by an unmarked Murray 15 yards from goal who headed the ball into the net beyond Josh Philp in the Tynecastle goal, the tall goalkeeper didn't even attempt to save the ball with a fantastic header from Murray, the goal was just rewards as Musselburgh had played some great football however missed getting that all important goal.

Windsor continued to threaten immediately after the goal and retrieved the ball right away and got a free kick in a good position just a couple of minutes later, a free kick by the talented Daniel Combe looked like it was going into the back of the net however the only burden for Windsor was the crossbar which was a blessing for Tynecastle, Musselburgh had been well on top in the latter stages of the half with Tynecastle delighted to see the half time whistle.

Four goals from Brian Connor helped Glenvale retain the Scottish Cup as they blew Fairmuir away in Airdrie.

Connor’s four goals were added to by Euan Rodger, Fraser Lee and John Cumming as Glenvale lifted the trophy for the second consecutive season.

Glenvale couldn’t have asked for a better start as they took the lead after just three minutes through Euan Rodger. Fraser Lee picked the ball up in midfield and released Brian Connor in behind the Fairmuir defence.

Connor’s strike was tame but an uncharacteristic mistake from Cameron Hendry saw the Fairmuir keeper spill the ball into the path of Rodger, who bundled the ball over the line from a matter of yards out.

It was a nightmare start for Fairmuir, whose first chance came courtesy of a long-range effort from Mark McCrory on the 10 minute mark.

Things got better for Glenvale after 12 minutes when Rodger turned provider for Connor with a volleyed pass that Connor gathered before rounding Hendry and slipping the ball into the net.

Two minutes later, Connor had the ball in the net again as Glenvale added to their lead. The striker flicked the ball through to Sean Borland, who cut the ball back for Connor, who squeezed it past Hendry into the bottom corner.

Fairmuir were beginning to see more of the ball but couldn’t ask any questions of Ciaran McDowall in the Glenvale goal.

Glenvale added a fourth goal on 27 minutes when Connor’s cross was cleared as far Fraser Lee, who fired a low shot home through the legs of Hendry from eight yards.

Connor completed his hattrick after 32 minutes when he was played in by Aidan McLaughlin, before once again rounding Hendry and slipping the ball into the net.

Ross Hazel hit a shot wide from 20 yards for Fairmuir before Connor saw a header bounce over the bar from close range.

Connor found Borland with a deft flick that sent the midfielder through one-on-one with Hendry, but the Fairmuir keeper stood up and kept out the low effort.

In first half injury time, Glenvale got their sixth goal through John Cumming, who powered a header home from a corner.

Dyce produced a thumping second half to defeat Airdrie 4-0 and take the U13s Scottish Cup. Two goals from Matt McFarlane were complemented by a long range strike from Ethan Sutherland and an Aidan Brookes penalty, giving the Aberdeen side their silverware in the Lanarkshire team’s own stadium.

The opening half was scrappy and often lacking in concentrated possession. Dyce were quicker into the game, with their attacking players getting touches of the ball advanced within the Airdrie half. However, bar a 20 yard free kick by Brookes and cross-shot by Sutherland, in the 6th and 7th minutes respectively and both comfortably saved by Airdrie number one David Milligan, the pressure was at a distance.

Airdrie’s place in the match strengthened with a quarter of an hour played. Initially their endeavours produced no more than throw-ins, but soon direct balls began to show promise. These encouraged striker Michael McKinley to chase against the centre backs, and he won space for a brace of long but wayward shots.

On the half hour a fine saunter out of defence by Dyce’s Scott Robertson led to an unsuccesful penalty claim by Sutherland, and for a few minutes the final found a previously lacking bite. This piqued attitude duly produced the best chance of the half, as McKinley caught a hopeful punt, wrestled inside his two markers, and was only denied by the out-rushing Sam Inglis.

The Excelsior stadium welcomed Kirkintilloch Rob Roy and Harmony Row as they went head to head in the hopes of clinching cup final glory in the Scottish Youth FA Cup.

After a hard fought 90 minutes and extra time from both sides, Kirkintilloch sealed themselves victory on penalties after Callum McAuley’s excellent save of Ben Harwood’s powerful shot, which was ultimately the deciding factor in the tie.

Both teams set the tone for the fixture early on as Kirkintilloch’s Greg Miller piled on the pressure for the Harmony Row Goal Keeper, Dylan Austin; while Harmony Row’s Greg Murphy had a series of crunching tackles.

As Harmony Row found themselves comfortable within the game, the fifth minute saw Charlie Freedman race up the left hand side before firing the ball into the back of the net, only to have the effort called offside.

It wasn’t long before Kirkintilloch were hitting back at the other end though, as Miller had a shot that was taken comfortably by Austin in the sixth minute.

It was in the 14th minute, however, that Kirkintilloch caught a break as Kian Gilday sent an excellent ball over to the opposite side of the box to Luke McNiven, who picked out the feet of Fraser Dawson in the box. Dawson calmly slotted the ball past Austin and Kirkintilloch found themselves 1-0 up within the first 15 minutes.

After a series of long balls that didn’t seem to come off for Harmony Row, their determination paid off in the 27th minute after they gained a crucial corner that would change the dynamic of the game once again.

The effort brushed the head of Harwood but didn’t come off as he may have hoped; however, it fell behind him for Kieran Robb, who fired a low shot into the left-hand corner of the net, bringing the fixture even once more at 1-1.

After equalising, Harmony Row seemed to gain the confidence to take hold of the match, Harwood in particular continued to send wonderful balls into the box before one dropped for Kyle Elrick who was unable to take advantage.
