Clubs | Lenzie YC 98s win Riverside Cup | |
|
Lenzie YC 98s enjoyed a golden start to their season with a dramatic victory in the inaugural Riverside Cup tournament, held in Bridge of Allan. Victories over Crieff Juniors and hosts Riverside FC put the Sky Blues into a strong position before a narrow loss to Campsie set up a nerve-jangling final match with Kinross Colts. Needing to out-shoot Riverside on goal difference, Lenzie began strongly and Stuart Leitch’s breakthrough goal was followed by a Lewis Beveridge brace to make it 3-0. Two late goals from Kinross made for a tight end to the tournament but the East Dunbartonshire boys were delighted to hear they had come through on goals scored. Lenzie Section Co-ordinator Karen Graham commented: “The boys deserved their triumph for their effort and fine play. Hopefully this sets us up well for the season.” Results: Crieff Juniors 0 Lenzie 1 (Beveridge) Riverside 0 Lenzie 2 (McCabe, Burns) Campsie 1 Lenzie 0 Lenzie 3 (Leitch, Beveridge 2) Kinross Colts 2 *Lenzie's Lewis Beveridge finished joint-top scorer with three goals
